can't find "Login" button

Your Comment
Login/My SJPL is a blue button in the top right corner of your screen. If you don't see it and only see a username, you or someone else may be already logged in.

Me registré me dieron un número de tarjeta pero no cree el pin y me lo piden para iniciar sesión que debo hacer??

Your Comment
Gracias por tomarte el tiempo de contactarnos. Después de aplicar para una tarjeta de la biblioteca en línea, deberías de haber recibido un correo electrónico con tu número de tarjeta. Con ese número de tarjeta, puedes ir a esta liga para crear tu PIN. Si no puedes crear el PIN o si tienes más preguntas, por favor no dudes en comunicarte con nosotros.

It keeps telling me my pin/username is wrong when it’s NOT. It’s keeping me from browsing and I’ve tried resetting my pin already . What’s up with these technical difficulties.. it’s reoccurring.

You can also use the PIN reset form on our website: https://catalog.sjlibrary.org/pinreset~S1.

After entering the library card number and pressing enter you'll see a note that a message will be sent to the email address we have on record for you.

Please follow the instructions in that message to reset your PIN.

I received an e-library card number, however when I try logging in with that number it doesn’t recognize it.

Your Comment
Hi Irma. If you haven't done so already, you need to first set up a PIN for your eLibrary card in our Classic Catalog: https://catalog.sjlibrary.org/patroninfo
Enter the eLibrary card # you were issued on the Classic Catalog login screen, you'll be prompted to create a PIN after clicking 'Submit'. Once the PIN is established for the eLibrary card, you can register an account on the new catalog (BiblioCommons).
