RSA Cat

 RSA Cat is our online library card catalog website.  It will allow full access to the entire collection at Brimfield and all the other libraries in the Resource Sharing Alliance from any computer connected to the Internet.  The new RSA Cat will allow you to place holds on items and renew your checked-out items; all from home.  In addition to looking and working better, the new RSA Cat will often include extras such as book covers, reviews, tables of contents, summaries, and first chapter previews.  Click on the search for materials or My Account links at the top of this page to visit the new catalog and your library account.  You will need to enter your library card number and the password to access your account.  The temporary password is CHANGEME.   You may personalize your password after you access your account.  Feel free to contact the library staff if you have trouble accessing your account.

 RSA Cat is "Libraries Delivered" to you!  Serving you better @ your library!!

We're Going Green!

 In the parking lot in front of the library, there are 2 large green recycling containers for our community to use.  You can bring paper such as cardboard (please break-down boxes to conserve space), magazines, telephone books, office paper (no construction paper), & junk mail, aluminum, steel tin cans, light steel such as coat hangers, bicycles, etc., #s1, 2, 3, 4, 5 & 7 plastic (#s are inside the recycling triangle) including grocery bags and bubble wrap.  Any items that contained food must be rinsed of any food waste.  A more complete listing of accepted items is on the container.  This service is co-mingled, so nothing has to be separated.  Please stop-in the library and leave a donation as weekly pick-up costs $50.00/month for each container.  Thanks to the Village of Brimfield for donating $50.00/mo. toward this service!  Thanks to Eagle Enterprises Recycling from Galva for making this service available to us!  Go Green!  

The EPA estimates that it takes 1 plastic bag over 500 years to decay in a landfill.  Each person's plastic bag legacy will be 4.175 million years!  The worldwide consumption of plastic bags is over 500 billion, that's over 1 million per minute!  You can help the environment by buying green, reusable bags here at the library for only $1.00ea.  They are great for book bags, groceries, etc.!  Don't forget to switch out your ordinary light bulbs to energy saving fluorescent bulbs.  Simple ways to be kind to our environment!  Go Green!
