Subscribe to Newsletters from NFLS  www.infosoup.info/roadtrip You are welcome to join a 10-week trip to visit 49 library locations throughout 10 counties in Northeast Wisconsin. You will discover the unique buildings, services, and resources available in these communities.
Your road trip begins by picking up a map booklet at any participating InfoSoup library. Then use the booklet to plan your road trip to as many of our 49 InfoSoup library locations as you can visit and collect stamps along the way! There are two ways that you can get your map stamped:
Only one stamp or code per patron per library. For every ten stamps or codes you collect, go to an InfoSoup member library and get an entry form for a chance to win prizes. You may enter up to four times. The prize drawing will occur on August 1, 2023. Winners will be notified using the contact information on their entry form. Staff of the participating InfoSoup libraries are not eligible to win. Learn more on the InfoSoup Library Road Trip page.  Our New InfoSoup Catalog, powered by BiblioCommons, is live! We think you will find it easier to use and will love the new features. Your library card number and PIN will remain the same, but you will need to register a username on the new catalog. Information about registering is below. If you set up an EZ Login on our old catalog, that will not work on the new catalog, but you can continue to use it to login to the old catalog. Our BiblioCommons catalog provides new features and a new interface, but our current catalog will remain available if you prefer to use it. Unfortunately, BiblioCommons cannot import lists from our current catalog, nor can it import or access the borrowing history in our current catalog. If your borrowing history is currently enabled, it will continue to keep track of items you check out, and can be accessed by signing into your account at https://catalog.infosoup.org/?section=MyAccount. If you have lists in the current catalog, those will remain. You will have the option to recreate them in BiblioCommons using the new shelves and lists features.

Or you can dive right in. The first time you sign in, you will need to register.  From InfoSoup:
"Coming soon, a new look to InfoSoup, powered by BiblioCommons! We are busy putting the finishing touches on our New Catalog. We think you will find it easier to use and will love the new features. But don't take our word for it give it a try and let us now what you think! Although we are in the preview stage, the catalog is live and up-to-date. You can view your account, search the full catalog, place holds, add to your shelves, and create lists.
