Please stop by the Devereaux Library for a “sneak peak” at the historic 25-foot Crouch Railroad engineering drawings. The first and most important phase of the project has been completed; new display cases have been constructed and were installed this week. Additional information and exhibits are yet to be added. Funding for this project has been provided by The Friends of the Devereaux Library. Plans are in the works for an “official” unveiling this fall.

South Dakota Library Network (SDLN) will be moving to Aleph Version 20.1 beginning Friday 9 July 2010. We plan to be operational by the morning of Sunday 11 July. The server will be unavailable for live transactions from: Start- Friday 9 July 2010 at 6 a.m. MT End- Sunday 11 July 2010 at 9 a.m. MT For users this should have minimal impact. You will still be able to search the catalog and all of the databases. You will not be able to place holds on SDLN (please send requests to the Devereaux Delivers link instead.) You will not be able to place ILL requests using SDLN, but Devereaux Delivers or Worldcat will allow you to place ILL requests. If you need to renew items or have questions, please contact library staff.
