DID YOU KNOW?
Your library card isn't just a Princeton library card.
With it, you can check out items for free at any of the 30 libraries in the Winnefox System! We can also order items from any of these libraries to be delivered here, for free.
WHY DO WE WANT YOU TO CARRY YOUR CARD?
- So you can easily access all of the cool, free resources we offer. You usually need your library card barcode number and PIN for that.
- Your library card is as valuable as a credit card. If you lose it, someone else may be using it to take out expensive items under your name. Let us know immediately if you lose your card, so we can block it.
- While we can look up your account with your name and birthday, if we make that a habit, anyone with that info could use your account. Announcing your name and birthday in public is also not safe.
- We don't want to make a mistake! While we can look up your account, we sometimes have trouble with our huge database. We want to make sure we have the right person.
- You'll be helping us save time and mental energy.
