This Thursday June 20, 2024, all public libraries in Milwaukee County are moving to a new CountyCat. To accommodate this change, there will be an outage that begins after the last library closes on the evening of Wednesday June 19th and continues into the morning of Thursday June 20th. CountyCat, CountyCat Mobile and all resources with a connection to our system software (e.g., Hoopla, Kanopy, Libby) will be temporarily unavailable.
If you have downloaded titles from Libby or another eContent provider in advance, then you’ll be able to use them that morning. You just won’t be able to checkout, stream or download new titles during the outage.
Just a reminder that you do not need to create a new library account or PIN for CountyCat. In addition, the mobile app is not changing, only the CountyCat desktop catalog is. Please see the FAQs on this page for details.
We anticipate CountyCat and all resources to be back up and running by Noon Thursday June 20th. A note will be posted here once we have the all-clear!Planned outage as our libraries move to a new CountyCat
