Westerville Public Library will become the second public library to participate in OhioLINK during a one-year pilot project. Records for the Westerville Public Library’s 200,000 items are currently available in the OhioLINK Library Catalog. Their materials will be requestable through the OhioLINK catalog sometime in late April.
For our users, this means you can choose either the Courtright Memorial Library or the Westerville Public Library for pickup of your requested items. You can also return either your Westerville Public Library items or your OhioLINK requests to either library. This is a wonderful addition to an already great resource.

New JSTOR Collection
We have expanded the number of titles available through JSTOR by puchasing the Arts & Sciences III collection. There will be 120 titles in full text that cover the following fields: language and literature, music, the history and study of art and architecture, cultural studies, film, folklore, performing arts, and religion.
JSTOR is an online archive of scholarly journals, beginning
with the first issue. Although there is a gap between a journal's most
recent publication and the last issue available on JSTOR, users are guaranteed
authentic page images in order to provide a faithful replication of the
original print journals.The title and detailed lists of all collections
are available on "About JSTOR" pages at:
http://www.jstor.org/about/collection.list.html
With the support of materials from the History Channel, there is a display
about Franklin Delano Roosevelt on the second floor by the government
documents. Books and videos about his life and the monumentous events
surrounding his life are available for checkout.
Jazz On Display

2nd floor display area for CD's and records of jazz performances. Examine
