Ocean State Libraries has added a PIN requirement to all library accounts in order to make your account more secure. PINs have been active since November 7th. PINS must be 4 - 8 digits long, all numbers. If you have not yet created a PIN, you will be prompted to do so the next time that you try to log into your account. If you click on the Forgot Your PIN link, an email will be sent to you that will help you reset your PIN. If you do not have an email address attached to your library account and you are having difficulty creating your PIN, give the library a call at 294-3306 and we will help you get one set up.

Our library webpage is updated with a lot of great information! To help you stay on top of all that info, we have an RSS Feed that you can add to you favorite RSS Reader.

If you are unsure about RSS or you want to learn more, check out this great tutorial on the basics of RSS and how to get started! Staying in touch with the library has never been so easy!
