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.
Set Up Your PIN
- 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.
Avoid choosing a PIN that is
- a simple number sequence like 1234 or 0000
- Any part of your social security number
- Once logged in, please review, update, or add an email address by clicking the “Edit Account” link.
Reset Your PIN
If you forget your PIN, you have a few options for resetting it.
ONLINE: You must have a valid email address to reset your PIN using the online option. Click the “Forget your PIN?” link on the My Account login page. A link to reset your PIN will be sent to the email on file in the account. If you no longer have access to your email, call the Answer Center or come in to one of the libraries.
BY PHONE: Call the Answer Center at 970-221-6740 to request to have your PIN reset. You will need to provide proof of identification over the phone so we can make sure you are the cardholder and are authorized to access the account.
IN PERSON: Stop by any of the libraries to request help resetting your PIN. You will need to provide a photo ID. Staff will assist you with setting up a new PIN for your account. Please note: PINs cannot be reset via email requests.
