Important Update for Libby Users

On Tuesday, December 3, we’ll be updating the way patrons log in to the Libby app. This change won’t affect your library card number or PIN, but it will log you out of your Libby account. After the update, you’ll need to log back into your Libby account using your library card number and PIN.

Need help logging back in? Our team is here for you! Contact your local library branch or send us an email to myaccount@ocl.net

Learn about the Ingersoll Rural Cemetery Potter's Field Project

A Potter's Field is the burial place of the forgotten, marginalized and stigmatized members of Ingersoll’s community who didn’t have the means to pay for a burial. This summer, a team of historians, archaeologists and students at Western are working to uncover the history of Potter's Field and tell the stories of the more than 350 community members who are buried there. This project was inspired by the digitization of the cemetery’s massive burial log, undertaken by our local history technician Vicki Brenner.
