Due to a recent update you may be asked to verify your library card number and PIN. Your PIN is most often your four digit birthday (MMDD). For example, a June 3rd birthday would have a PIN of 0603. If you've forgotten your PIN you may request a reset  (allow at least one business day for a response) or call the library hotline at 1-833-GET-GRRL (1-833-438-4775)
