You can reset your library PIN with your library ID number (same as your library card number). You must have an email address linked to your library account. We will email you with a link to reset your password. You will receive the email within 5 to 10 minutes.

We can send you an email which shows your library ID. But first, you need to reset your PIN number (password) using your name and email address: 

1. Go to the ‘Reset your password’ webpage, click on the link highlighted in the sentence “If you have forgotten your borrower ID or username, you can reset using your name and email address.”
2. Enter the email address you have on your library account, your first name and surname. Click on “Continue”. You will receive an email within 5 to 10 minutes containing your library borrower ID and a link to reset your password.
3. Then you can choose to click on the link to reset your PIN.  Or if you do remember your PIN, you don’t need to reset it. Use it with your library ID to access our eResources.
