A new library system has been procured to replace the current one. Due to the system migration, all library services are completely unavailable from 20 October to 3 November 2026.

During the library system migration:

• library branches are not accessible to the public
• customer service is closed
• mobile library services are suspended
• self-service libraries are closed
• the web library is unavailable for logins and catalogue searches
• e-resources that require a library card and PIN for access are unavailable
• book return slots are unavailable
• the acquisition of new materials is suspended
• new reservations cannot be made
• existing reservations are transferred to the new system
• borrowing history will reset. If you want to keep the record of your borrowing history, save it as a list of Saved Items by 19 October.
• New Arrivals alert should be turned off. It is recommended to re-enable the New Arrivals alert approximately one week after the library system migration.

There are no due dates between 13 October and 30 November. There are no reservation pickup dates during the library closure period.

Interlibrary loan ordering is suspended between 11 September and 8 November. Please remember to return or renew your interlibrary loans well in advance of the library closure.

Library branches will reopen on Wednesday, 4 November 2026. Self-service library access and the web library will remain unavailable for a longer period. Existing library cards will work normally in the new library system.
