FAQ:
What is my library card # and borrower ID # ?

Answer:
Your LIBRARY CARD number is the barcode number listed on the back of your card.

Your BORROWER ID number is generated when you register for a library card and is specific to your library record. This number is given to you in person by the circulation staff when either you register to obtain a card or if you request the number in order to use online databases. This number is NOT given out over the telephone for privacy reasons.

These two numbers will be needed to access your account online as well to reach the library's online databases from home.
