Skene Catalog is Now Online
Skene Memorial Library
Catalog is Now Online
In response to the mandate by the State of New York that all public libraries be automated, Skene Memorial Library volunteers spent many hours over the past two and a half years entering Skene’s 8357 books, DVD’s and audio books into the data base of the Four County Library System.
All Skene’s Library’s collections have been digitally catalogued and bar coded, and are now included in the Four County Library On-Line Catalog (4CLS). Skene patrons can now borrow books, DVD’s and digital media from any of the 42 Four County Library facilities that are included in the on-line catalog. Downloadable e-books and audio books are accessed directly through the 4CLS website and books and CD’s reserved from other libraries are delivered to Skene for pickup on Wednesdays and Fridays.
Here is the web link for the on-line catalog or click on the icon:
https://fcls.ent.sirsi.net/client/en_US/fcls
To use the on-line system and to borrow books from Skene Library shelves, you will now need a 4CLS bar-coded library card with its new number. If you don’t already have one, stop by the library to get one.
New 4CLS Library Card
In order to expand our services we continue to need help from our patrons with DONATIONS – to pay for the barcoding materials and printers, as well as the ongoing cost of participating in the 4CLS online system.
Please contact Linda Rodgers our Librarian at 845-254-4581 or come by.
