The State Library of Ohio, OhioLINK, and Search Ohio are changing service providers for the library materials delivery system across the entire State of Ohio. The state has warned we will experience major delays in receiving materials, and they are pausing delivery services completely between March 11 - April 30, 2022. Cuyahoga Falls Library will not receive your items requested from other libraries during this time. 

The state realizes delivery of shared library resources has been frustrating for library users for some time. This switch is necessary to provide a better, long-term solution. In the short term, holds and delivery services will be paused March 11 - April 30, 2022. This pause will create longer than usual wait times for holds placed on library materials.

In the SearchOhio and OhioLINK Central Catalog, the 'Request' button will be removed. You will not be able to make new requests through either system on or after March 11. Requests will remain paused through the end of April 2022.

Please be patient as we go through this transition together. Remember, the library staff's holds will be paused, too. And no one loves to read more than librarians! So we created some tips to help while you wait. 

 Your requests are active and will remain in the system until they are completed. Please do not re-request delayed materials.

After the pause, if you are concerned your hold was removed from the system, please contact Cuyahoga Falls Library staff.

Yes, you should still return your Search Ohio and OhioLINK materials to the Cuyahoga Falls Library. 

Due dates will not be impacted by this service interruption, which means you should return materials on time to avoid overdue fines.
