How do I create a library account at the PHS McLean Library?
I am a PHS member and I would love to borrow items from the library.
Answer
PHS current members and staff may borrow books from the PHS library. While not mandatory for a borrower to do so, setting up a PHS library account enables you to renew materials, place holds, review checkouts and create lists prior to visiting the library. Here's how:
Go to the PHS Mclean library catalog home page:
In the upper right, click on log in to your account, then click on create an account
Fill out the form. (you only have to fill out this form once). Your library card number is identical to the membership number on your membership card. (contact mcleanlibrary@pennhort.org if you cannot find or do not know this number).
Fill out your mailing address, phone number and email.
You need to assign yourself a password.
When logging in to your account, enter your user name as firstname.lastname (lower case)
Contact mcleanlibrary@pennhort.org if you have any questions.
