Horizon

The member libraries of the Clinton-Essex-Franklin Library System use Horizon as their integrated library system (ILS) to process materials for patrons, as well as facilitate interlibrary loan. The Horizon program can be installed on a computer running the Windows operating system. To have Horizon installed or for questions or training, contact David Fuller at 518-563-5190 x122 or dfuller@cefls.org.
