To access your library card account:
1. Visit the library's Catalog. Click on My Account.
2. Enter the barcode number from the back of your library card. If you have already set up a Login/Username, you may enter that instead of the barcode.
3. Enter your PIN. The PIN is usually the last 4 digits of the library card number. If you don't know your PIN there are two ways to reset it. You will need your library card number to do either of them.
- If you have an email address on record with the library, we can send you a link that will allow you to reset your PIN. Click on Forgot Your PIN? You will be asked to resubmit your barcode number, then you will receive an email with the link. Note that the link is only good for 3 hours.
- The other way is to call the library at (941) 861-1110 and library staff can reset it for you.
4. If you receive an error when attempting to log in (Example: "Sorry, the information you submitted was invalid. Please try again.") with the correct information, it may be possible that there is another issue with your account, including that it may have expired. You can call the library at (941) 861-1110 so that staff can look into your account and fix any issues.
