Hmm, if you owe money then they might have a block on your account, it varies by library system. But for the library I work at, you can go to our website, enter your library card account number and have access to all of the genealogy and other databases that we subscribe to. I don't know if a school library wouldn't have it though. I work in a county/city library and most of those that I know of have some type of genealogy subscription.
