Searching Our Catalog Online Tutorial
We have an online tutorial video to show how to search our catalog. It is a little over 5 minutes in length due to some pauses in the program…please forgive us. It covers the basic search options in VERSO and how to maximize your results.

More Info on Our Online Catalog
You can find more information on how to log on to our VERSO Online Catalog by clicking on the “Online Catalog” Tab above.
Welcome VERSO to Your Library!
We’ve had our official training and are up and running in VERSO, our new library computer management system. The many new features include our online catalog and the ability to see other libraries’ collections. You can access the online features by clicking the stack of books icon on the left sidebar under the “Search Our Card Catalog” heading.
You will need to enter your library card number and letters as your username:
EXAMPLE:
A000000111 (letters and numbers with no spaces if your card begins with the letter “A”)
OR
B0000 1111A (cards that begin with letter “B” will need to enter the space as shown on the card)
Your password is your last name in lowercase.
You will then be able to search our catalog, manage your account, and reserve materials (up to 3 items).
BE AWARE: YOU ARE ONLY ALLOWED TO RENEW MATERIALS ONCE!! YOU WILL WANT TO WAIT TO RENEW THEM AT THE DUE DATE. RENEWING MATERIALS EARLY WILL NOT GIVE YOU THE FULL TIME YOU MAY WANT OR NEED.
If you have questions, be sure to call us, 620-872-5341!! Thank you for bearing with us during this transition.
New Online Circulation System Coming Soon
Many of you know of our computer failure last month. Soon, our apparently archaic circulation system will be replaced by one of the best and complete integrated library systems.
You and Your Library will be able to manage, share, and search holdings not only in Your library, but in the other libraries in our area through one automated platform. Watch this website for more information and tutorials to help you get started!

Are you or a relative unable to make it down to the library? Your library offers Homebound Services to our local patrons. Here’s what you need to know:
- Call Velda Thomas, our homebound librarian, and tell her about the kinds of books or materials you would like.
- A volunteer will deliver & pick up books and materials every two weeks.
- This service is available on a temporary basis as well if you are recovering from an illness, surgery, injury, etc.
Just because you cannot come to the library does not mean you cannot use Your Library! Call 872-5341 for more information.
