After more than 20 years, we are changing our Library Management System. This system allows us to lend to you, buy new stock and keep track of where everything is.
There will be a short spell of reduced service over the first two weeks in December while we make the transition from one system to the other including:
- Delays in requesting books between libraries
- There will be no access to our eResources, including eAudiobook and eBook platforms Borrowbox and CloudLibrary, for those with an online only membership ( membership number beginning with H) between 9 and 16 December. After 16 December, online only members will then be required to re-register an an online borrower via our new Library Management System. The new library catalogue link will be available from 16 December at www.eastlothian.gov.uk/libraries.Online borrowers will then need to create a new account with our eResource platforms such as Borrowbox using their new online borrower number. Unfortunately this will mean borrowers will lose any loan history, reservations and current loans on existing accounts.
Your local libraries will be open during this period.
We apologise for any inconvenience this will cause and thank you for your patience whilst we improve our service.
