Logging Into Your Account
Click the "My Account " link on the top right-hand side of the library homepage. You will be asked to enter your library card barcode number. After you enter your barcode number, click the "My Account" tab for an overview of the items you have checked out, all reserves you have placed, and any outstanding blocks or fines on your record. You may also view your profile to verify that the library has your correct contact information.

Renewing Items
After logging into your account (see instructions above), click the "Items Out" link. A list of all the items charged out to you will appear. Check the boxes in front of the titles you wish to renew, then click the "Renew" button. A new due date will appear after each title. Not all materials have the same loan periods, so be sure to verify the due date of each item. If the due date does not change, the item has not been renewed. Items renewed after midnight on the original due date will be considered overdue and charged a fine. It is the patron's responsibity to make sure that all materials have been renewed properly, so you may wish to print a copy of the renewal page for your records. Call the library at 452-2850 if you are having difficulties renewing online.

Cutural passes, items on reserve for other patrons, interlibrary loans, and summer reading books cannot be renewed. Most other items may be renewed twice.

Reserving an Item
After logging into your account (see instructions above), click the "Advanced Search" tab. You have a variety of search options, such as title, author, subject or series. You can also limit your search to a particular format, like audiobook, large print, or DVD. After you locate the item, look for its status. If an item is listed as "Checked Out," you may click the "Request Item" link to place a reserve. Select the Bibliomation library where you wish to pick up the item and click "Request." You can go to "My Account" and click the "Holds" link to verify that the hold has been placed and to see your position in the reserves list. Do not place a reserve on an item listed as "Checked In." If you would like the library to hold an item that is currently on the shelf, contact us by phone at 452-2850.

Requesting an Item from Another Library
If you do not find the item you are looking for in our library, you may click the "Bibliomation Global" link on the top right-hand side of the catalog page. This will allow you to search all libraries in our network. When you locate what you are looking for, click the "Request Item" link and select the library where you wish to pick up the item. Click "Request" to place the reserve. Please be aware that libraries do not always send their materials through the interlibrary loan system, particularly new items or audiovisual materials. If no Bibliomation library will accept your reserve, please contact our Reference Desk at 452-2850.

Feel free to contact us at 452-2850 if you any problems accessing the library from home.
