You must have a valid library card and PIN to use our online databases.

If you have a library card but DO NOT have a PIN, please go to our shared catalog, NIC, to create one.

If you have any questions, please contact our Reference Desk at 815-633-4247 ext. 12

Due to security reasons, library staff cannot create or modify your PIN over the phone. 

If you cannot remember your PIN or have trouble creating one, you must come into one of our Customer Service Desks with a valid  photo I.D.
