Library PINs

Personal identification numbers (PINs) have been implemented by the Flatirons Library Consortium (FLC) to provide an extra layer of security for your account and personal information. This PIN is used to access your account online, use downloadable materials and research databases, and log in to public computers in our Computer Lab.

Your default PIN is the last four digits of the phone number we have on record. We recommend changing this for additional security.


Get instructions to reset your PIN and verify your Libby or Overdrive account.
