Catalog & Collections

The Online Public Access Catalog (OPAC) is your portal to the more than 130,000 print and media holdings of the Ridgefield Library, along with digital collections and resource- sharing opportunities.  Traditional library materials such as picture books and bestselling novels are joined by audiobooks in an array of emerging formats, a wide selection of topical and general interest periodicals, large print books, documentary and entertainment DVDs and even Kill-a-Watt electricity use monitors! 

Accessible remotely anytime, anywhere, the OPAC unleashes possibilities barely hinted at in the old-fashioned card catalog. Not finding what you need in our local collection? Spread your search across the state or across the world with one easy click.
