New Catalog Goes Live
We are now "live" with CARL, our new online catalog. The CARL Discovery catalog
offers easier searching, an intuitive mobile catalog, and more relevant search results. Please make sure your My Account settings are correct for PINs, text notifications, and email receipts. Patron PINs must be numeric and 4-6 numbers in length. Patron PINs in the old catalog that included letters or exceeded six characters and weren’t changed before May 25th, have been changed to the last four digits of the phone number in the patron's account. For more information contact us at 734-942-7589 or romuluspubliclibrary@gmail.com.
