On Saturday, May 7, 2016, the Barrington Area Library will roll out a redesigned website.

Why a new website?

Since our last redesign in 2011, the use of mobile technology has greatly increased. More than 50% of visitors are now accessing our site through tablets and mobile devices, and it's important to us to provide the best user experience possible.

Our new site is built with responsive technology that will recognize the type of device and the size of the screen you're using, and will instantly adjust to the correct environment. Look for touchscreen-friendly features, menus that can be minimized, and an overall cleaner, brighter look.

What you won't find - a drastic change from our current site. We've done our best to keep links in familiar places and prioritize the services you use most. We'll also continue using the same online library catalog, where you look up items and access your account information.

We hope our new website improves and enhances your customer service experience at the Barrington Area Library.
