PIN

I just downloaded the Palatine library app to my Kindle and I'm eager to checkout a book, but when checking out, it asks me to put in a PIN #.  

How do I select a PIN?

Getting a PIN

Hi Gail. Thanks for using our app!

To get a PIN:

  1. Click on My Account in the top right corner of the library web site. This will take you to a log in page.
  2. On the login page, enter your library card number in the barcode field but leave the PIN filed blank. Click the LOGIN button.
  3. Create a PIN on the following page. Your PIN needs to be 5-30 characters long and must contain both letters and numbers.

If you already have a PIN and need reset it, click here. You need to have an email address in our system to reset your PIN.

If you are still having trouble creating a PIN, please contact or visit us when the Library is open.

Also, you may find answers to other questions you have about downloading to your Kindle on our Frequently Asked Questions about eBooks page.

Library Android App

I like the app, especially the bar code reader search feature.

I would be nice if I could enter my library card info, my wife's and my son's and just select which account I would like to check on. I keep up with our three library card accounts, and check out things when we are still using them, when they are close to being due. It would be nice if I could just click to select each different account, rather than having to reenter the account details.

Otherwise, great app.

Thanks

Thank you for your support of the app! While the ability to seamlessly navigate across multiple library user accounts is not offered currently, we'll share this suggestion with the app developers as a potential opt-in feature for future versions of the app.
