DIY & Creative Skills

Creativebug requires you to create an account that is a public profile. Here's how to avoid sharing your personal information:

• Creativebug user profiles display First Name, Last Name, and Bio, and they will only display initials for first and last name.
• If you want to use Creativebug while avoiding sharing personal information, you can completely customize all of those fields. For example, you could enter First Name as simply S, Last Name as S, and leave the Bio field blank.
• Personal profile settings are managed via Access My Account in the menu in the upper right-hand corner of the Creativebug website once you've signed in to your account. These settings are not accessible via the Creativebug mobile app.

• • Go to New York Times Cooking.
  • Log in or create an account with your personal email address. (Note: if you don't want to receive email marketing communications from the New York Times, uncheck that box when you sign up, or follow the unsubscribe instructions if you start getting marketing emails.)
  • You may now view as many New York Times Cooking articles as you want during your time on the library computer or library Wi-Fi.
