Watch for a new look on our website. Assistant librarian Lauren West has been working hard on the site, and we are ready to roll it out. The web address will be the same, www.wrlsweb.org/ontario. The website will have links to access our catalog, Overdrive and WisCat, as well as news on events at the library.
