Using Your Library Card

A library card is the ticket to many of the services we offer. Use it to:

• Check out books, DVDs, music CDs, and more
• Renew your checked out material online
• Use online databases from home or work
• Reserve a meeting or study room

PINs (Personal Identification Numbers)

Your library card comes with a PIN (Personal Identification Number) which you will need to access many of our services. If you forget your PIN you can:

• Call us, tell us your library card number, and we’ll tell you your PIN.
• Go to My Account and ask for your PIN to be e-mailed to you.

Keep Your Account Updated

If your contact information changes, it is your responsibility to keep the Library informed so we can continue to deliver notices in a timely fashion. Once each year we will ask you to verify your contact information in order to renew your library card.
