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:

  1. Use your complete card number
  2. Use the correct PIN
  3. Clear your browser cache
  4. 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.

This is what the Change PIN section looks like:

Instructions

Clearing the cache varies by browser. The following links will help you find browser-specific instructions:
