Setting up your account & online catalog basics
Check your due dates, search the catalog, place holds, create lists, save your reading history, update your account preferences, and more. PS: We are fine free!
- Log into your CAPL account by entering your library card number, without spaces, into the “Library Card or Username” field. Then enter the last 4 digits of your phone number into the “Password” field.
- Once logged in, you are able to create a username if you would like and update your password to something more secure.
- We share a catalog with over 30 other area libraries, so if we don’t have a title you’re looking for, chances are good that another library in our system does. Set the “Limit By” filter to “All Member Libraries” when searching. You may also request items through our Interlibrary Loan service.
- You can place holds on our items, and most items at other libraries in our catalog. Limits & Loan Period information.
- You can set your hold pick-up location as our Drive-up Window (watch the embedded video below for a quick tutorial).
- You can prioritize, suspend or delay your holds (watch the embedded video below for a quick tutorial).
