Due to the rollout of the new website, we have not yet changed most of the rural Polk County designations in Polaris. The majority of them are currently designated as Polk County (Webster). We are going to begin making those changes now, so you may notice an increase in patrons calling or stopping at a desk to ask why their Libby accounts have stopped working. Please explain the change to them and use the charts at the desks to help them find their new home library. A review of this process can be found on the Intranet. https://intranet.johnstonlibrary.com/?s=Rural+Polk+County
To complicate matters, the Grimes Library is temporarily closed as they transition to their new building, so we will not be changing the statistical class of those in Jefferson Township until they are reopened. For now, those patrons will continue to have access to Libby through JPL. I will post an update when we begin making the Jefferson Township changes, but for now, if someone asks, please explain that we are granting them temporary access through our library until the Grimes Library reopens.
Thank you!
