Please contact the Help Desk if you have any problems accessing your system's data.

All PINES patrons (and staff!) now have access to online language classes in 70 languages! Spanish, English, French, German, Mandarin, Gaelic, Haitian Creole, Arabic, Latin, and many more! You can search for "mango languages" in the PINES online catalog to get started.

We are pleased to announce that when you use the NoveList reader advisory databases in GALILEO, the search results now include links to the PINES catalog! The NoveList databases are available to library staff as well as to members of the public to find read-alikes to favorite books, book reviews, books at specific Lexile reading levels, and more. When you find a book you are interested in within NoveList, simply click on the PINES link and it will open up a new browser tab with a PINES search result for that title.
