1. Customize your library account

In your library account, you can

• See your circulation information (holds, books currently checked out, due dates, overdues, etc.)
• Check your personal Information (address, phone number, email, etc.) - is it correct?
• Place hold requests and renew books
• Sign up to get email when a preferred new book arrives
• Create and edit reading lists 
• Choose to automatically keep your reading history

2. How do I get into my library account?

Log in from 'My Library'

When you are using the library catalog, find 'My Library' on the menu at right. Choose 'My Account'.  Enter your name and the last 9 digits of your library card number to visit your account.

There's also a short-cut to your account from the library website home page at humlib.org.  Look for the link 'Your Library Account' just below the search box.

Log Out

After using your account on a public computer, be sure to log out of it to protect your personal information.  Click the words 'Log Out" in the upper right corner of the screen. (You'll notice you can also log in from that corner whenever you are using the catalog.)

3. Can I change my personal information?

You can change your email or phone number.

To update the email address and phone number you would like the library to use, click the 'Modify Personal Information' button in your account and enter the new information. 

To make other changes, please talk to Circulation Desk staff at any library branch.
