- Log into your library account and click your name in the top right corner of the screen to view your account.
- Click on Reading History from the menu on the left side of the page, and then click the “Save Reading History” button to turn on this function. Once the feature is turned on, you can always return to Reading History to view your past checkouts.
Through your online library account, you also have the ability to create personal reading lists to keep track of books you have read, want to read, etc.
