Create or Reset a PIN

A PIN, or personal identification number, is a 4-digit number used when accessing your library account online (My Account) and select digital resources, databases, and download services. PINs provide an extra layer of security for your account and personal information, particularly against unauthorized access or use of your library card.

On any library webpage select My Account.
On the account login page, enter your library barcode number.
Leave the PIN section blank and click “Submit.”
You will be prompted to create your 4-digit PIN. Type your PIN into the “New PIN” area and again in “Retype new PIN.” Click “Submit.”
