The Great Courses have been a popular item on library shelves for years. There are hundreds of courses on a broad range of subjects; it’s hard not to find something of interest. You’ll find courses on history, science, economics, religion, or philosophy. Learn a new language, improve your health, become more mindful, or learn all about Mediterranean cooking. The Great Courses have engaging professors and experts who lead the trainings so the experience is always rewarding and enjoyable. You can stream on your phone, tablet, computer, or hook in to your SmartTV and enjoy learning from the comfort of your living room!

E-Receipts at Checkout
Help us go green! Thayer Public Library is now offering the option to get your receipt by email at checkout, instead of (or in addition to) a print receipt!
Ready to try it? You’ll need to have an updated email address on your library card, which you can easily add to your account at the Circulation Desk or Children’s Desk. Email receipts are sent from the same folks that send book renewal and overdue notices, so please add sirsi@ocln.sirsi.net to your email contacts. When you check out, we’ll ask you what you prefer each time. So if you change your mind or just want to try something new, you can!
