Clicking just got a lot easier. The Knox County Public Library announces the launch of its new website. It’s going live on Thursday, and we think you’re going to like it.

With a more intuitive design that better integrates online services, you’ll be able to find what you’re looking for! You’ll now be able to manage your books, music and downloads all in one place. The powerful search now returns results on most of the library’s resources including the McClung Digital Collection of historic photos and documents. With this new design, you may be surprised to discover all sorts of resources you didn’t know we had. Here’s a video tour of the new site.

New features include:

  • A discovery layer on the catalog with improved recommendations and curated book lists
  • Easier and more streamlined navigation
  • Pre-filtered and more accessible subject knowledge resources
  • Ability to maintain personal reading history and lists
  • Access to a patron’s library card bar code which can be used to check out materials
  • Updated calendar for events and programs
