E-books Just Got a Little Easier

With the library's new catalog system, logging in to use the free e-book service is a little easier.  Now, to log in, you no longer have to precede your library card number with 'hamb.'  Just enter your library card number as it appears on your library card.

To access the library's free e-book service:
1)  http://hamburg.axis360.baker-taylor.com/
     OR
2) Click on the e-materials link found under the 'materials' tab near the top of the library's website (www.hamburglibrary.org).

For complete instructions on how to use Axis360, please visit the library for a handout.  Please do not hesitate to contact the library if you have any questions.

Manage Your Account

The new catalog system allows you to manage your account to suit your needs.  Log on to the system by entering your library card number on the box on the left side of the screen.  For your first time using the system, use "userpass" as your password.  The system will prompt you to change your password to something unique.  You can then, under the "My Account" tab, change your settings, keep track of check outs, fines, reserves, make renewals, etc. 
Please do not hesitate to contact the library with any questions you may have (810-231-1771 or hamb@tln.lib.mi.us).
