Using the Public Catalog

The advantages are endless on what you can do on the OPAC once you are logged into your account. Search and place holds on items at your library, tag items, make purchase suggestions, create lists, share information and so much more. To log into your account on your public library catalog, you will need your user name and password. Each library is different on what they choose to use for a username and password- so if you are unsure, contact your library.

Steps on how to Log into OPAC

Go to your Library’s catalog and find the login prompt. This log in prompt might be in the top right hand corner and also possibly in the middle of the screen toward the right.

Enter your Username and Password

Once you are logged into your account, you will be brought to your Account Summary page. This will allow you to see all your checkouts, holds and fines.

Remember if you are logging into a public computer to access your account, don’t forget to log off!
