County of SLO Public Libraries to Update Catalog Operating System All Black Gold libraries will close April 22-23


All Black Gold Cooperative Library System libraries, including County of San Luis Obispo Public Libraries, will be closed Friday, April 22, and Saturday, April 23, for a catalog operating system update.

Online browsing, accounts, and holds will be unavailable Thursday, April 21, through Monday, April 25. All Black Gold libraries will be offline during this time.

EBooks, audiobooks, and other downloadable items will still be available.

While the update won’t change the overall look of the catalog, it will affect patron library account passwords. Patrons can reset their passwords when logging in online or ask for assistance from library staff.

As previously announced, County of SLO Public Libraries will leave the Black Gold Cooperative July 1. Patrons who have a library card that begins with 22063 will not need a new card to use County of SLO Public Libraries. Patrons who have cards that begin with a different prefix are invited to sign up for a SLO Libraries card at any time.
