Yes, you can see a record of items you have checked out by activating the Reading History feature in your library account. Reading History allows you to track the items you've borrowed, and participation is entirely voluntary. You may start or stop using it, as well as delete any or all entries, at any time. Library staff does not have access to your Reading History. If you choose to start using Reading HIstory, you agree to allow our automated system to store this data. 

Reading History is turned off by default, and nothing will be saved until you turn it on. Once you turn it on, only the items you check out from the time you turned it on will be saved. Anything you may have checked out before you opt in to saving your reading history will not be saved.

Please be advised: The information saved in your Reading History is subject to all applicable state and federal laws, and under those laws it could be accessed by law enforcement authorities without your permission.  

 

To turn Reading History on:

  1.  Go to the library catalog.
