[Michlib-l] How did I get connected to Amazon, Hulu, and Kanopy at my public library?

[Jolene]

If you are using Google, there is an extension called "library extension"
that came out a few years ago.
It connects to those resources but I don't think it uses your personal card
information.  It just tells you if the library has the item you are
shopping for.

Your issue might be something similar.  I'd look at your browser
extensions. Just to be sure.
