When you are using the library’s online catalog, you can create lists to keep track of the books that you would like to read later. You can add up to 100 items per list and have more than one list.

Click on the “My list” link on the upper right corner of the webpage to see the list of titles that you created.
If you have not added any items to your “My list” in one year, it is considered inactive and will be deleted from the system.
Unfortunately, in the unlikely event of an outage, failure of the server that saves patron lists, or other technical problem, your list may be lost. We do our best to keep our technology running smoothly, but if you are concerned about potentially losing your list, you may want to keep a printout of what you have stored in your “My list”.
