Introduction

My Library Card consists of the following tabs, which enable you to view the contents of your library card and perform library services, such as renewing a book or canceling a request:

Overview – Displays a summary of each of the tabs to allow you to see if any action is required.
Loans – Displays all of your current and outstanding loans.
Requests – Displays all of your current requests.
Fines & Fees – Displays all of your current fees and fines.
Blocks & Messages – Displays all notes and blocks added to the user's library account. Blocks may occur if a threshold (such as too many fines and fees have been incurred by the user).
Personal Details – You can tailor the user interface so that it reflects the way you usually search. For example, you can specify the default language, modify user details, and change your password. Depending on your environment, you may be permitted to opt out of receiving notification letters. For configuration details in Alma, see Configuring Library Notices Opt-In.

To view your library card and keep your settings, you must first sign-in.
You must first select Edit to make changes to the Personal Details section.
