North Branford library patrons will need to set up a personal identification number to access online accounts and digital tools beginning Tuesday, Dec. 1, according to North Branford Libraries. The PIN will pair with each patron's library barcode number.
Patrons must have a valid email address to create their own PIN. They will be prompted to set one up the first time they log into their online account beginning Tuesday, Dec. 1.
The requirement covers online accounts, the library app and digital platforms used to download e-books, e-audiobooks and other media. The library announcement identifies Libby, Hoopla and the LION Catalog among the online features protected by PINs, which provide an additional layer of account security.
