借閱資訊
You can access your Library account on our catalog or with our mobile app. You can review items currently checked out on your library card, including overdue and lost items. You can renew items and review the status of titles you have placed on hold. You can also cancel holds on items you no longer need. Use the Change of Address Form to report changes in your account.
You can place a hold on an item using our catalog or mobile app. After finding the title you want to reserve, choose a pickup location and we’ll notify you by e-mail or text message when it’s ready to pick up. If you need help placing a hold, library staff will guide you through the process or place the hold for you. The maximum number of holds on a patron record at any time is 30. If no copy becomes available, your hold may be canceled automatically.
Most items may be renewed a maximum of three times. Reference materials may not be renewed nor items for which there are pending holds or reserves.
Eligible items will be automatically renewed on the due date. You may also renew items by accessing your library record or by phone: (888) 577- LAPL. Each renewal grants you an additional loan period from the renewal date.
The library also offers a Telephone Circulation Service. You can renew your items by telephone, 24 hours a day, by calling the toll-free number: (888) 577-5275. If you are outside the toll-free area, dial (213) 623-9930. Telephone circulation also lets you review your library record to find out what you have checked out, when it is due, if items you reserved are being held for you, and if you have any unpaid fines or fees.
Checked out items may be returned to any Los Angeles Public Library location. Items may be returned in person or through a bookdrop. At Central Library, bookdrops are located at the Flower and Hope Street entrances and curbside at the 5th Street entrance.
To get notifications about holds, due dates, and overdue items, ask at a library location or contact us. You can also change your notification settings using the catalog.
Available Notification Methods
- Hold Notices: email, phone call, text message
- Overdue Items: email, phone call
- Due Date reminders: email
Your Personal Identification Number (or "PIN") is, by default, the last four digits of the phone number associated with your library card (usually the number you entered on your library card application). If you need help accessing your account, please contact us.
