Troy-Miami County Public Library is transitioning to a new library system. This system helps us manage library materials, checkouts, holds, and other services. This change gives you access to library materials across Ohio, reduces costs, and gives us greater local control over our services. Thank you for your patience and support during this transition.
What you need to know:
- All patrons will need a Troy-Miami County Public Library Card to borrow, place holds on TMCPL materials, and access all library resources, including the Maker Lab, before our new system launches in November.
All locations will be closed for a few days (November 1-3) as we migrate data to the new system to ensure that patron accounts, library records, and other important information transfer accurately. During this time, the catalog will not be accessible online.
No items are due, so please keep items and do not return them until after November 4. We cannot process returns while we are closed, so they will remain on your account.
Starting November 4, your PIN/password will default to the last four digits of the phone number on file for your account in our new system. You can change your PIN/password online or by visiting any library location.
SearchOhio is expected to return in early November. This resource provides free access to public and academic libraries across the state of Ohio.
Try Libby while the library is closed. Try the app on your favorite device for eBooks, audiobooks, Magazines, and more. Please be aware there may be a short period of downtime.
Below are more details and a timeline of events.
Date: November 4 - GO LIVE
- You’ll need a TMCPL card that starts with a 1002 prefix to check out items or use services at any TMCPL location, including the Maker Lab, Oakes-Beitman Branch, Troy Library, and Bookmobile.
- You may experience brief interruptions for digital services like Libby, Kanopy, and PressReader throughout the day as we switch authentication to the new system.
- Your current PIN can not be moved to the new system. Your new PIN/Password will be the last four digits of the phone number on your library account. You can change your PIN anytime through your online account at catalog.tmcpl.org or by calling any TMCPL location.
Additional Information: After Go-Live, you’ll be able to request DML materials and items from public and academic libraries across Ohio through SearchOhio. The exact date will depend on how quickly our new system is up and running and materials are added. During the SearchOhio outage, staff can still request SEO materials for you.
Multiple libraries, agencies, and service providers are coordinating this effort, and dates may change.
