The More on-line catalog has a link to a new catalog format you can try out along with a link to an on-line survey to pass on your comments. Through the on-line catalog, http://www.more.lib.wi.us, you can order items for delivery to any MORE library you prefer for pickup. Our materials are available for loan to any registered on the MORE system. Through the MORE catalog, Deer Park patrons have access to materials in over 30 other libraries.
Whether an item was on the shelf or delivered via interlibrary loan, every item you check out at Deer Park Library helps generate funding for us to keep the lights on, the furnace going and purchase new materials.
