Managing Your Account
- To manage your account online, access the library catalog: https://gafney.biblionix.com/catalog/
- Log into your account (upper right) using your library card number and password. You initial password will be your phone number (no area code if in NH and no spaces), but we strongly suggest that you change your password to something more secure.
- Click on ‘My Account’ to enter your account.
You will be able to update contact info, view notifications, see what you have checked out, renew, reserve, request an Interlibrary Loan (book from another library if you don’t see it in our catalog), suggest a purchase, bookmark items for future checkout (kind of a “wish list”) and see what you’ve read over the past year.
