To use the bookmarklet

(Note: For the bookmarklet to work, your browser needs to have JavaScript enabled.)

Highlight a word or phrase on a Web page, then select the bookmarklet from your Favorites.

    1. Highlight a word or phrase you see on a Web page with your mouse.

    2. Open the Favorites, Links or Bookmarks menu on your browser's toolbar and click on Homer Library Catalog Search. If you have nothing highlighted, a window for entering search words will appear.

    3. The bookmarklet will search our catalog for the word or phrase you highlighted or entered.

      The bookmarklet searches our catalog.

    4. If you see an item you want and have a Homer Township library card, you may click the "Place Hold" link in the catalog to request the book. You'll need to enter your library card barcode number (without spaces) and your PIN (your default PIN is the last 4 digits of your barcode number). We'll contact you when the book is available to pick up at the front desk.
