Digital Collection FAQs
Q: What is my card number?
A: The card number is all of the numbers on the back of your library card, located above the barcode. When you enter it, be sure to leave out the spaces.
Q: What is my pin?
A: Your pin is the last 4 digits of your phone number. If that doesn't work, you might have changed it at some point. Unfortunately, we cannot see what it has been changed to, but we can change it back to our default. Contact us at
questions@pendleton.lib.in.us
to do so.
Q: How many items can I check out?
A: You can check out up to 10 items at a time on LIbby. Good news! Magazines don't count towards your limit. With Hoopla, you can check out 5 items a month.
Q: Who can use Tutor.com?
A: Anyone with a Pendleton Community Library card can use Tutor.com. It offers help for all ages, from kindergarten through college. It also has great resources for adults on helping children with their homework, as well as resume writing and interviewing tips.
