Logging In
| |
Remember, all existing personal identification numbers (PINs) have been reset to the last four digits of the primary phone number on your account. If your account does not have a phone number, or you wish to change your PIN, you may reset it after your first login. However, you must have a valid email address on your account to reset your PIN online.

No Fines Accrued
| |
Remember, all items that were returned April 11-13 were not able to be checked in during the transition, and it will take our staff a few days to check in all of these items. Because of this, returned items may remain on your account for several days. However, no fines will be accrued and your card will not be stopped.

* Your account will display downloaded items as well as physical items you have checked out.
* You can choose to receive overdue, courtesy, and hold notifications via text.
* A new feature called Pick Up Anywhere will allow you to select a library other than Indian Prairie for pick-up of materials on hold.
* You can freeze your hold on a title and tell the system when to un-freeze it.
* The catalog is easier to search with autocorrect, search suggestions, and recommended titles. Results resemble Google and other popular search engines.
* The new software also continues to provide your reading history if you want the system to keep track of what you check out.
