This coming Tuesday Lake Forest Library will bring up our new library catalog called BiblioCommons. It not only allows you to search, renew and reserve materials but you can also create and share book lists and reviews with other readers. The link to connect to this new service will be displayed on our homepage http://www.lakeforestlibrary.org/. Just click on “catalog” and follow the steps listed below.
1. The first time you log in you will need to create an account. Type in your 14-digit library card number (no spaces). Then enter your password. The default is “patron.” If you created a different password in the old catalog you should enter that instead.
2. Now you are ready to create your account. You will be asked to enter your birth date. This is not required but if you choose not to enter it some features of the catalog will be limited.
3. Create a username. This can be used instead of your library card number to log in. Also, this username will be listed on any content you add to the system.
4. Change your password. Again, this is optional but changing your password will increase your privacy.
5. Enter your email address. This is also optional, but if you forget your password you can request that it be sent to you in an email if you've registered.
Please remember to read the privacy section under MY LFL and select the privacy settings that you prefer.
