Library Accounts & Placing Holds

Parents, if you haven’t done so already, register with the Library in person. Registering allows you to log in to the catalog, place holds on books, and take them home to read.
Graduate students, your library login is your full Bank Street email address, and the generic password is changeme.

  • If you want to place a hold on a book, log into the library catalog, search for the book you wish to borrow, and place a hold
  • Staff will pull the book, and email you that your hold is ready for check-out
  • Come to the Library’s circulation desk and check out your book.
