Getting Started with AZ Central

<div class="ExternalClassEA1A0B0B9DEC4E12853356491D2021F5"><h2>Access AZ Central with your <a href="/services/borrowing/ecard-registration">Phoenix Public Library card</a>.<br></h2><div> <br></div><div><span style="color:#ff0000;">Customers are not able to sign up for or access an AZ Central account with their library card at this time. Unfortunately, a change has been made by the vendor which is now restricting access to AZ Central for library customers. While we are hopeful that this situation will be resolved, realistically the library is unsure if access will be restored. Thank you for your patience and understanding. When/If access is restored, you will see it listed on our </span><a href="/browse/learning-research/a-to-z"><span style="color:#ff0000;">AtoZ</span></a><span style="color:#ff0000;"> page again.</span></div><span style="color:#ff0000;"> </span><br style="color:#ff0000;"><span style="color:#ff0000;">We do have </span><a href="/browse/elibrary/online-magazines-newspapers"><span style="color:#ff0000;">other news sources</span></a><span style="color:#ff0000;"> and also a link to the </span><a href="https://catalog.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/Search/misc/esources.aspx?target=79"><span style="color:#ff0000;">Arizona Republic Database</span></a><span style="color:#ff0000;">, where you can go to the publications option, choose The Arizona Republic, and the latest stories will appear. It's not like reading a digital copy of the newspaper but it is the best we can do for now. </span><h2> <br> </h2><h3>Get Started<br></h3><div><ol start="1" type="1" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-top:0in;"><li><p> <a href="https://catalog.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/Search/misc/esources.aspx?target=859">Access this link</a>.</p></li><li><p>Provide your first name, last name, and email address. </p></li><li><p>Check your inbox for an activation email.
