The CLAN library catalog is available for you to dial into from a personal computer at home, at work, or at school. This is a solution for those who do not have Internet access. If you have Internet access you can use Web PAC.
By dialing into the CLAN catalog you can access materials from any of the CLAN libraries: Jefferson County Rural Library, Port Townsend Public Library, Quilcene School Library or Brinnon School Library. You can search for materials by author, title or subject. In addition, you will be able to place holds, renew materials, and review your personal patron record.
The catalog is available 24 hours a day, except for weekly system maintenance on Monday evenings from 8 p.m. until Tuesday mornings at 8 a.m. There may be other times when it is not available due to special projects or system maintenance the library must complete.
