There are many Union County residents who have the same name or similar names, and by asking to scan your card library staff members are making sure that your account remains secure.

To access your account you must first receive a “Patron or Alternate ID Number” and PIN, or personal identification number, from your home library. PINs may be changed after the account has been activated.

Materials can be renewed online unless one or more of the following conditions exist:

  • The card has expired or been blocked
  • The material’s renewal limit has been reached
  • The material is overdue
  • The library user has any unpaid fines
  • The material is on hold
