Your Library PIN

With a library card and PIN, from the library or from your home or office computer you can:

  • Check your borrowing/circulation record
  • See what you have checked out, and when items are due
  • See if you owe any money
  • Place reserves (Lombard cardholders only)
  • See which reserved titles are ready to be picked up
  • Access selected reference databases

To establish a PIN (personal identification number), if you do not already have a valid Helen Plum Library Card, you must first visit the Library in order to obtain a library card.

  • Once you have a valid Helen Plum Library Card, you may establish your PIN by using the "View your circulation record" in the text based catalog in the library or "Personal Information/My Library Account" choices in the web catalog which can be accessed from home.
  • Your PIN can be up to 30 characters in length, and is NOT case sensitive.
  • When entering your PIN for the first time, you will be instructed to enter it a second time to verify your PIN.
  • If you have forgotten your PIN, you will need to visit the library in person in order to have it changed.
  • If you want to change your PIN, you can do this from home, or in the library.
