2/24/2025 - Update: MORE Catalog problems likely resolved Starting last Thursday, there were problems with some accounts not showing checked out items and some searches not returning expected results in the main MORE Catalog and app. The problems seem to be resolved now. Please use the IFLS help desk to report any ongoing issues.

Climb on, sit on a seat, say hi to Mr. Tom, then climb back down the BIG steps (only 1 little boy put up a fuss when it was time to get off-had to be carried off), then watch the flashers and stop sign turn on. Then Mr. Tom started the engine to drive away…ears got covered. We made their day.
