How do I sign-up?
Registering with Library ELF is free and easy (before you do, please read our Privacy Notice & Disclaimer). Mount Pleasant Public Library cardholders simply need to go to www.libraryelf.com, click on 'Sign Up', and then just follow the on-screen directions. Be sure that 'NY-Westchester Library System' is selected from the drop-down list of libraries, and have your library card handy (you will need the barcode). If you want to receive notifications for other family members, you'll need their library card barcode numbers, too. The Westchester Library System does not use PINs for online catalog access, so just leave the field labeled 'Library Card PIN' blank.
