Library privileges may be revoked if abused.

Personal Identification Number (PIN)

When you register for a card, you are asked to select a PIN of your choosing. If you do not select an alternate PIN, the last 4 digits of your phone number will be used by default. Once you select an alternate PIN, only that number can be used.

Two Ways to Change Your PIN

    Select your Profile page to change your PIN.
  • Go to the Checkout Desk at your library.

If you have forgotten your PIN, you will need to go to the Checkout Desk and ask for assistance. We cannot give you this information over the phone or by email.
