My Account
How do I access my account?
 You can access your account from any computer with Internet access.
Click on "My Account: Renew & Hold Books" in the upper right corner of
BPL's home page, which takes you to the "My Library Account" log-in
screen. Enter your name, library card barcode and PIN if you already
have one. (If you do not have a PIN, you will have to create one.)
You are now in your account.
 Once logged in, you can update your phone number and email address, see
the list of items you have checked out, renew items, view and cancel
outstanding holds, place new holds, choose the method by which to
receive library notices and view fines if there are any.
Please note: Our Telephone Notification Server (TNS) will only make phone calls to the following area codes: 201 (North Jersey), 212, 347, 516 (Nassau), 551 (North Jersey), 631 (Suffolk), 646, 718, 914 (Yonkers / Westchester), and 917. If your area code is different, select email or postal notification options to receive your notices.
What is a PIN? How do I get one? What if I forget my PIN?
You need a PIN to access your account. Your PIN must consist of a 4 digit PIN (no letters or symbols).
To create a PIN, enter your name and library
card barcode into the "My Library Account" log-in screen, leave the PIN field
blank and hit "Submit." Enter your desired PIN twice on the next screen
and hit "Submit." This creates your PIN.
If you forget your PIN, you must fill out the PIN Reset Request form. You may
also visit any BPL location with your library card and a
form of identification, and ask a staff member for assistance.
If you log into your library account online for the first time and have
trouble accessing it even when leaving the PIN field blank, you may
already have a PIN. Oftentimes library staff have users create their
PINs at the Circulation Desk when they first get their library cards.
