PaILS is happy to announce that the Public Library of Catasauqua went live on SPARK yesterday! Catasauqua joins the other Lehigh Carbon libraries already on SPARK– Coplay Public Library, Dimmick Memorial Library (Jim Thorpe), Emmaus Public Library, Lehighton Area Memorial Library, Lower Macungie Public Library, Palmerton Area Library, Parkland Community Library, Slatington Public Library, Southern Lehigh Public Library and Whitehall Township Public Library. The Lehigh Carbon Library Cooperative (LCLC) libraries will share common patron borrowing policies and common circulation policies, giving local patrons a seamless library experience.  Catasauqua was not automated before joining SPARK, so this is the first time the public has online access to Catty’s 18,000+ items.

PaILS and SPARK is happy to play a part in helping the LCLC libraries in their vision of “Growing communities together”.
