JCPL will also go Evergreen in early October.

The library has joined the Evergreen Indiana Consortium, a group of Indiana public libraries that share circulation and catalog systems so patrons can view the catalogs of other member libraries and borrow materials from them using their Evergreen Indiana Library card. New Evergreen cards will be issued at no charge to existing borrowers.

Other changes of Evergreen will be longer borrowing periods, one time renewal for all materials, fines for all items will be 25 cents and a $10 non-refundable fee will be charged for lost items, plus the cost of the lost item.
