Using My Account
Access your Rockville Public Library Account from home by visiting our web page at rockvillepubliclibrary.org and clicking on the “My Account “ button on the top of the page. That will take you to this page:
Enter your library barcode number and your password. You can then renew books, place books on reserve, check on your holds, and also keep track of what materials you have taken out!
There are tabs that will give you different options:

Messages – message the library has sent to you.
Items Checked Out – all of the items you have checked out.
Holds – all of your holds (books you have requested)
Account Preferences – this has a lot of good information (see below)
My Lists – lists of whatever you want, for example books you would like to read in the future, favorite authors
What is in the Account Preferences tab?
