How do I renew my card?

Youth Cards
Youth cards are for ages 17 and younger and the forms must be signed by the youth’s parent/guardian. Youth Library cards also double as permission for youth to use the public access computers which are unfiltered.
The Library does not act in loco parentis (in the place of parents); monitoring what a youth checks out, views in the Library, or online is entirely the parent/guardian responsibility. For more information, please see the Unattended Child Policy
Computer-Only Youth Accounts
For youth (resident or non-resident) that are not cardholders and have parent/guardian’s permission to use the computers but not check out books, a parent/guardian can sign them up for a computer-only account. These forms are available in the Library.
Manage Your Account Online
In order to manage your account online you will need to have created a PIN when you signed up for your Library card. If you didn’t assign yourself a PIN when you registered or you’ve forgotten your PIN, you can visit the Library or click here to contact the Library and request a new PIN.
