Discover the new way of accessing, browsing, and working with Phoenix Public Library's collection.

The classic My Account/catalog was retired as Phoenix Public Library's catalog experience on Monday, May 5, 2025. You may still access the classic My Account/catalog for a temporary time, however we do encourage you to try out and discover all the benefits the new catalog experience has to offer!

Explore this new, modern search and discovery interface that makes the most of your library’s catalog! Quickly get the results you're looking for in a clean and streamlined presentation. View Phoenix Public Library's collection like you never have before.

The new catalog provides better ways of:

Searching for titles
Refining your search
Requesting an item
Viewing all editions and formats of a title at a glance
Bookmarking and saving titles
Managing your account
Discovering more items within the collection!

See below to learn more about the above features and enhancements.

Additionally, the catalog now has a language toggle button where customers can choose English or Spanish.

Easily See All Editions and Formats of a Title at a Glance

No more scrolling through pages of results to get every edition and format of a title. View and work with your desired results at a glance.

Refine Your Search the Quick and Easy Way

The one-stop search box does a great job of quickly pulling up the results you're looking for, but what if you need a bit more?
Refining your search has never been easier. Simply look left for options to make your results list even better.

Bookmark and Save Titles of Interest

Save a title to your account For Later. Organize it under custom lists at your convenience.

What about my current My Lists / Saved Titles Lists?

Beginning Thursday, April 24, current Saved Titles Lists were moved to the new catalog environment..

As part of this process, access to current Saved Titles Lists was turned off Thursday, April 24. Not to worry - access to creating new lists on the new catalog is available right now! Additionally, any lists you've already created in the new environment will stay put.

If your current Saved Titles Lists contain items that are no longer available in Phoenix Public Library's collection, they will not appear on the new, moved-over version of your list.

Create Custom Lists

Bookmarked titles can be organized into saved Lists. Lists are a piece of cake to browse and a breeze to share with a friend. Build your own little collections within your account!

Request an Item for Pickup

Placing holds in the new catalog is an easy and worry-free process. Simply select a Pickup Location and a Pickup Area and wait to be notified when your item has arrived at your chosen pickup location.

A note about Pickup Areas

In the old platform, a customer's Pickup Area defaulted to Hold Shelf. Now, customers must manually select a Pickup Area when placing a hold (unless you have already set a preference in your profile settings). Unless you have a preference set, you will need to do this every time you place a hold. We suggest you set a preference if you will be picking up at the same place and spot.

Updating your profile settings will help streamline your experience and will help minimize any confusion for you and for staff - especially at pickup.

We hope that you enjoy exploring the new catalog and we hope the catalog's enhancements lead to saved time, the discovery of great titles and resources, and a happier Phoenix Public Library experience.
