Did you know that you can customize your library account online?
To sign in to your account, go to www.budalibrary.org and click the “Login to your account” link in the right-hand column. Enter your card number and phone number and click the “Log In” button. Then, click the “My Account” button to bring up details about your account.
Once you have signed in, there are several things you can do. You can add a phone number or email address and change how you’re notified. A great thing about our system is that you can choose to get an email or a text message as opposed to having to wait for us to call you! Just make sure the cell phone number or email account you want to use is entered in the Basic Information section at the top. Then, you can select it in the Notification Options section.
Another thing you can do once you’re signed in is see what is checked out on your account. It will show you when it’s due and gives you the option to renew the item. You can also use the library’s online resources, such as databases on a wide variety of subjects with the TexShare Databases, take online classes with Universal Class, or get ready for the SAT and other tests with ePrep.
To watch videos about how to use some of the library’s great resources go to www.budalibrary.org/eshelf-research and click the “Instructional Videos” link. There’s so many ways to connect with the world at the Buda Public Library.
