Circulation
Request or Renew a Book (or other item) Online!
It's easy! First you need to visit the library to obtain a PIN. It just takes a minute, and you'll have increased control of your account from home or work. The PIN, along with your library card number, will allow you to "log in" to your account to request an item from the catalog, renew an item you have already checked out, or cancel a hold if you change your mind.
