For readers

Your account & self-checkout

See your loans, holds, and requests in one place, and borrow a book yourself.

The Account tab is your shelf within the library: what you have out, what you’re waiting on, what you’ve asked for, and your own settings.

What’s on your account

Once you’re signed in, the Account tab greets you by name and gathers:

  • On loan — your current books and their due dates. Overdue ones are highlighted, and each has a Renew button.
  • Holds — books you’ve reserved, with their status and Pause, Resume, or Cancel buttons.
  • Requests — books you’ve asked the library to get, with their status.

These are covered in Borrowing, holds & renewals and Requesting a book.

Borrow in person

If you’re standing in the library holding a book, you can check it out to yourself without queuing at the desk. In the Borrow in person card:

  1. Type or scan the book’s barcode.
  2. Tap Borrow.

You’ll see “Borrowed [title] — due [date].” If the book can’t be self-checked (for example it’s reference-only), the app tells you why.
