Our New Online Catalog launches March 15

Our browser-based search catalog is getting a major upgrade on March 15. The search feature on the mobile app will not be changing. The upgrade will make finding the newest, hottest items simple. The new catalog will group the different formats of a title together and allow you to see at a glance what is available.
