What is a PIN & Why Do I Need It?

Answer

PINs (Personal Identification Numbers) are codes of four or more digits that must be used when logging in to your account or checking items out at a self-check machine. You will also need it to renew your materials online or by phone. The Library has instituted the use of PINs to more securely protect you and your information. You may change your PIN after you log in to your account online or you may change your PIN in person at any library location. A photo ID verifying ownership of the account must be presented for PIN change requests made in person.
