On Wednesday, April 24, 2024 at approximately 10 a.m., our library catalog, circulation systems, and cloudlibrary authentication system will be down for maintenance. We estimate this will take an hour and will affect the entire state system. This means that you won't be able to place holds, search the catalog or use cloudlibrary.
For the rest of the week, there will be limited searching on the catalog. You will be able to search "All Minerva Locations" and find what you want, but you won't be able to narrow your search to "Topsham Public Library" or "Large Print" etc.
We are sorry for any inconvenience. Please reach out to the staff at the library if you need further clarification or help.
