What is a PIN?
A PIN is your personal identification number and provides additional security when you use your library card either at the library or on the Internet.

When will a PIN be required?
A PIN will be required when you wish to:
- Place a hold/reserve on material on-line,
- View your account status and materials checked-out,
- Renew materials on-line,
- Change your current PIN
- Public Access Computer usage in the Adult Computer Area

What if I don’t yet have a PIN?
Actually, everyone with a valid library card already has a PIN. Your original PIN was assigned based upon information you provided when you registered for your library card.

What if I don’t know my current PIN?
If you do not know your current PIN, you may either:
Have the current PIN sent to you via a valid and current e-mail address that has already been registered at the library
OR
Reset the PIN to a calculated value based upon existing information you provided when you registered for your library card.

Can I change my PIN?

  • You must know your current library card number (STDL library card numbers begin with 21257…),
  • Your current library card must be valid, and
  • You must know your current PIN

    What if my library card has expired?
    If your library card has expired, please visit the library to have your library card renewed. Users with expired library cards will not be allowed to perform on-line procedures. While renewing your card, please provide a valid e-mail address and confirm an appropriate PIN so you may use the on-line procedures once the card is renewed.

    Can I obtain my library card number over the phone or the Internet?
    No. To assure security, users will be required to visit the library and present 2 valid forms of identification, one form of ID with a photo, to verify the card-holders identity.
