If you are logging in with your barcode number, please check to make sure that the number from the back of your library card is correctly entered with no spaces.
If you have recently received a new library card you will need to use the barcode number on that card. Your old barcode number might be saved in your browser so try typing in the new number - don't rely on the number that your browser might have saved.
If you think your PIN is at fault you can click the “Forgot your PIN?” link on the Log In page to see reset options.
