Your PIN

To add another layer of security to your library record, you are issued an initial PIN (Personal Identification Number) to use library services when you receive a new library card. The GDL staff member who gives you your card will inform you about your PIN.

Please be sure you can remember your PIN because you will need it to:

  • Access your account online
  • Login to our public computers
  • Use our wireless network
  • Make reservations for our public computers
  • Access digital content from our Digital Library

Physical Cards (Card number begins with D):

By default, your PIN is the year you were born. NOTE: The PIN is the year only, not the month or date. For example, if you were born in 1970, your PIN would be 1970.

Digital Cards (Card number begins with 1):

By default, your PIN is the last four digits of your card number.

If you need your PIN reset: please contact a GDL staff member and be sure to have some form of photo ID available. If you call a library to have your PIN reset, be prepared to verify certain details about your library account.
