Frequently asked questions

What is my library PIN?

Your PIN is your personal identification number. Together with your Borrower Number it is needed to use some online library services.

Unless you have chosen your own PIN, eg. by joining the library online, your PIN code is likely to be a four digit number based on date of birth (eg. 7 April = 0704). You may change your PIN number to one of your own choice by visiting your Personal Record.

  • You will need your PIN to view your library account, to reserve items on the library catalogue and to renew your loans
  • You will need your PIN to download from our eBook and Audiobook service
  • You may need your PIN to view some of the online reference library resources
