Financial Resources at the Library

In addition to seasonal tax help, the Library provides year-round financial resources and services for both individuals and small businesses. Click here for more information.
New Checkout Procedure-PINS Required

As an added security measure, beginning the week of April 18, you will be asked to enter the PIN number associated with your account at checkout.

Typically, your PIN is the last four digits of your phone number... but not always! If you are not sure what your PIN number is, our circulation staff will be pleased to provide you with that information.
