Dear HyRead Users,

The login system to HyRead eBooks and magazines has changed due to a one-time system upgrade. This impacts the following items and functionalities:

Login System: All users (current and new) will need to register for a new HyRead account by creating a new username and password. Help Guide.

Current Holds: All current holds have been released and current users will need to place a fresh hold on the titles they previously had on hold.

Current Checkouts and Reading History: For patrons that need access to their current checkouts and / or reading history, please register for a new HyRead account and contact the Library at ask@sccl.org and provide the following information:

• Your new username
• Your previous username, which is your library card number
• The titles that you currently have checked out.

Our library team will contact HyRead Tech Support to have your current checkouts and/or reading history merged with your account. Please allow at least 2-3 business days for this change to occur due being in different time zones.

We apologize for any inconvenience you may experience with this major upgrade. We don’t anticipate such an overhaul again in the foreseeable future. For questions or concerns, please contact our Online Library Support team (https://sccld.org/online-library-support/).

Hold redelivery is scheduled to go live the week of March 2, 2020. At that time, hold redelivery will replace auto-checkout for all new and existing holds.

How will it work?

You will receive an email and push notifications when your holds becomes available. You'll be given the following three options:

1. Borrow the title within 3 days.
2. Suspend the hold by selecting "deliver later." This option passes the book to the next person in line while maintaining your place on the wait list. After the suspension period (set by you), you will be able to borrow the book when the next copy is available.
3. Cancel the hold.

If you take no action, your hold will automatically be suspended as a one-time courtesy for 7 days. If no action is taken a second time, your hold will be cancelled automatically.

Another alternative source to access the daily issues (including the latest issues) of The Mercury News through PressReader.

If accessing PressReader remotely,

1. Sign in (link available on the upper right-hand corner) by selecting the gold button “Library or Group.”
2. Type in “Santa Clara County Library District” to select the library.
3. Enter library card number and PIN.
4. Perform a search for “Mercury News” in the upper right-hand corner and select today’s paper.
5. Additional issues are available for about 3 months back. Use the little calendar to navigate to the other issues.
