How do I sign in to the library catalog?

Use your s-number (no "s") for both the user and the password to log in.
Find the link at the top of this page to sign in.

Having trouble?
Be sure you're using the number twice and not your gmail password.
Be sure you didn't use the "s" in front of the number for either user or password, and be sure you typed the number correctly.

What if I lost my book, or it got damaged?

If your book is damaged or lost, please come to the library to let us know. If we can't fix the damaged book, we may need to order a replacement. We will ask you to pay to replace the book. If that is not possible for your family right now, let us know when you receive the bill and we will work something out.

What if I have overdue books?

We will ask you not to check out any more until you have returned the books you have checked out. There are no fines for overdue books. Please do return them so that other people can read them!
It's good to store your library books in your backpack whenever you're not reading them - that helps keep them safe, and you always know where they are.
