Open the app and then tap on the shopping cart icon at the top of the home screen. Point your phone’s camera at the JCPL barcode sticker. Select Check Out Item (you can also add something to your For Later Shelf) and then either continue checking out, or tap Finish.
If you prefer, you can type the barcode number in using the keyboard option on the checkout screen.

Checking out non-JCPL barcodes is not currently possible. If you try to check out with a Prospector/ILL barcode, you will see an error message that says, “Cannot identify this item, see a Jefferson County Public Library staff member for help.”

To keep your library account secure, you can log into your Jeffco Library account on only one device at a time. If you are logged in on one device and then log in somewhere else, your first session will be logged out automatically. This includes the My JCPL mobile app. If you have logged in on your computer and then open the app, you will be logged out on your computer automatically.
