Common Fixes for Login Errors
Many account login errors can be readily fixed without visiting the library. Following is a list of common fixes to login errors:
- Use your complete card number
- Use the correct PIN
- Clear your browser cache
- Find out if your card has expired
Use Your Complete Card Number
If you tried to sign in with the short version of your card number and received a login error, try again with the complete number (no spaces).
Use the Correct PIN
Unless you have requested or set up a custom PIN, your PIN will match the last four digits of the phone number you gave when you signed up for a card. If you have forgotten your PIN, you may request a reset in person at the library. Library staff will ask to see photo identification before resetting your PIN.
If you know your PIN but would simply like change it, sign into your library account, then click the Personal Information tab, then expand the Change PIN section.
Clear Your Browser Cache
When you sign into your library account, your browser saves session cookies from our website. If you don’t periodically clear your browser cache, or if multiple library users share the same computer, expired versions of cookies can interfere with new login attempts.
To test for this problem, sign into your account using a private or incognito tab. If the login works, then you should clear the old cookies from your browser cache.
