Finding your next book just got easier!

The Spokane Public Library catalog is debuting a new resource for our customers that increases accessibility to the library catalog. Customers can now use popular search engines, like Siri, Google, Bing, and Yahoo to find library resources!

Previously library catalog records could not be found on search engines because library records cannot be read by engine crawlers. However, with the implementation of a new catalog translator software, the library catalog is now accessible on search engines!

Be sure to ask a library staff for more information.
