We have some exciting news—we’re getting a new online catalog, and you’re going to love it!
The Old Colony Library Network (OCLN) is migrating to a new library system that will go live on Thursday, April 30. This upgrade will not only improve staff efficiency, but also provide a significantly enhanced catalog experience for patrons.
Here’s what you need to know:
- From Monday, April 27 through Wednesday, April 29, our catalog, holds, and account features will be offline. Sandwich Public Library will be closed during this time.
- Libby, Hoopla, and Kanopy will be unavailable during the migration; however, anything you’ve already downloaded will remain accessible.
- Museum pass reservations will be paused.
- If you have a hold expiring in Libby, it will be automatically suspended. Please check your account on April 30 to unsuspend it.
- When logging in to the new catalog, please note that any letters in your PIN will be converted to uppercase.
The Sandwich Public Library is offering personal growth opportunities for our adult patrons, through diverse workshops that will foster self-improvement, problem-solving, and lifelong learning.
The workshops are an opportunity to learn new skills and connect with others. Each workshop will take place over a series of 3 sessions.
Registering for the first session enrolls you in all 3 sessions.
Upcoming Workshops:
Preservation 101: Why Historic Buildings Matter and How to Preserve Them
May 7, 14, 21
For more information, please visit the Curiosity Classroom webpage.

- Donations of 20 books/puzzles or less can be dropped off and reviewed if possible.
- All donations must be brought directly by the donor to the Book Sale Room on the lower level.
- Volunteers will review your donation of books and puzzles and reserve the right to refuse any donation.
