Getting a PIN
If you have never had a PIN for your library account, you will need to contact the library staff by phone (319-398-5123) or by coming into the library and asking at a service desk. You cannot get your first PIN via email or the library’s online services; this is to protect your account information.

If you call the library, be sure to have your library card number. You will also be asked to confirm some of the personal information in your account. If you come into the library, be sure to have some identification (a driver’s license is ideal!) besides your library card. These requirements are for your security.

Using your PIN
Once you have a PIN you can access your account online. From the catalog enter your library card number and PIN at the top of the page. See the image below.

Once you have logged in click on the My Account link. You will see three options: Review My Account, Renew My Materials and User PIN Change. See the image below.

Changing your PIN
Once you have a PIN, you are able to change it online from the catalog. Enter your library card number and PIN at the top of the page. Click on the My Account link, and then on User PIN Change.
