Sharing the Joy of a New Discovery by Alice and Wes Thompson at the Wyoming Branch Library
|
On September 8th the Albuqueruqe/Bernalillo County Libraries started adding PINs to all Library account logins to provide greater security and privacy for cardholders.
You can set your new PIN:
- by logging in to My Account at the Library's website.
- at any ABC Library on the catalog terminals.
- in person at any ABC Library service desk.
While you are at the library, be sure to check out public art. Most branches have artworks on display. The Main Library downtown has the biggest collection of artworks, check them out on our Flickr site too!
