1. Go to our new catalog: catalog.jacksonlibrary.org
2. Log into your account by clicking "SIGN IN" (circled below)
3. Enter your 14-digit library card number (no spaces)
4. Enter your password. If you have forgotten your password, click "Reset My Password"
5. Click "sign in"

This brings you to your My Account page where you can easily view items you have checked out - even in Libby, what you have on hold, and if you have any overdues.

Everything you ever wanted to know about what items you have checked out, what is overdue, if you have any holds on items, and your circulation history (called Reading History).

I hope that you poke around, click on everything and just get an overall feel for where things are.

For example, "Messaging Settings" allows you to control how you are notified of overdues, checkouts and holds filled. This is also where you'd sign up for text notifications.

Notice the 'Recommended for you' section. These recommendations get more accurate the more you rate titles.

Don't be shy...click away!

How to start browsing the catalog? There are several ways to get to the above screen:

1. Clicking the Jackson Public Library words or logo at the top of the screen;

2. Clicking the open book icon on the left hand side of the menu bar;

3. Type a search in the search bar OR leave it blank to do a general search.

This will take you to a more detailed screen where you can narrow your results by using the filters on the left. This screen shows the different formats we offer (book, audio, ebook etc) and lets you know if it is on the shelf, checked out or available from another coop library. Click the blue Place Hold button and submit the hold request and you are done! You will notice you can conveniently place holds on Overdrive items too.

If you are in the mood to browse, you can click on those large purple buttons (New Fiction, New Non-Fiction, NY Times Hardcover Bestsellers etc) for some inspiration. Browse the covers and click on them for the book summary, availability or to place a hold.

If you get to the bottom of the search results screen and you have not found what you wanted - you can request it from another NH library. Click on the Search all NH libraries button and logging in with your your 14 digit library card number and password. Once you're logged in, you can place your own hold and see the status of your past holds.

If the item you would like is new and you think it may be a valuable asset to Jackson Library's collection. Submit a purchase suggestion!
