LOGGING IN

To Log-in to your account, click the blue “Account/Catalog” link on the right side of the menu at the top of the Library’s website. When the new screen opens, enter your card number and the area code/phone number in the designated log in box on the top right, then click on the “My Account” button located at the top right corner of the screen beneath your Library card number. 

If your account does not open, call the Library (830-964-3744) or email information@tpml.org.

CLICK MY ACCOUNT

There will be several sections of information and links for you to use.

ACCOUNT INFO

Your name, address, phone etc. Changes can be made here for personal info seen in blue; just click on what you want to change and a box will appear. Make your changes and click save.

NOTIFICATIONS

Select the drop down menu options in the Account Info section to select your preferred contact method. You can opt to be contacted by call, text, or e-mail.

ITEMS OUT / RENEWALS

This section shows all items currently checked out on your card number. If the renew button appears to the right of the due date, just click it to renew. If the item shows “Not renewable.” next to it, you’ll need to return the item, as someone may have it on reserve, there may be a problem on the account, or allowable limit may be exceeded.

RESERVES / REQUESTS

This section lists your reserves and wait list. It also shows how you elected to be notified. The “copies” column notes the number of copies available. You can also cancel the reservation on any item that is not ready. You cannot cancel an item if it is marked as “ready” from that screen. You may request items that the Library does not currently own here.

Going out of town? You can defer your reserves until you get back. Select each date you will be unable to receive reserved items. Your reservation will be deferred until you are available.

BOOKMARKS

This section lists any items you have bookmarked from our catalog. To bookmark an item, click on the item within the catalog you wish too bookmark, then click the “Bookmark this item” button in the drop down section.

Why use bookmarks? Discover something you want to save for later? Bookmark it in our catalog! This handy feature lets you organize and revisit items easily. Build a reading list, save research materials, or just keep a collection of your favorites.

HISTORY

This section lists your checkout history. There is a drop down menu that allows you to select the length of time you wish to keep a history of your checkouts for. You can also download your history from this section.

CHANGE PASSWORD

To change your password, log in and go to the Account Info tab. Click on “Set a secure password” (if you have never set one) or “Update your password.” Type your new password into the fields that appear.

Forgot your password? When you click the “Card number” box to log in, a dialogue box will appear below the login section that will say “Forgot your password? Reset it!” Click on “Reset it!” then enter your card number and e-mail address. Reset instructions will be sent to your e-mail address if it matches the one you have on your account.
