HOW TO GET A LIBRARY CARD

• A library card may be obtained free of charge by any adult with proper I.D. 
• Proper I.D. = a picture I.D. and proof of your current address. A driver’s license, utility bill, checkbook or envelope that has been mailed to you may be used. When a student reaches the age of fourteen and is in the ninth grade, he is eligible to receive an adult card. Winthrop library cards may be used in any of the North of Boston Library Exchange (NOBLE) libraries.
• If your library card is lost, stolen, your address or telephone number has changed please notify us at once. There is a one-dollar fee for a replacement card.
• PIN Numbers = Personal Identification Numbers
• Bring your library card to any NOBLE library and ask at the circulation desk for a PIN number. With a PIN number you may access your library account from any computer link to the Internet, and check your account, renew books and order books from any of the NOBLE libraries. The books will be sent to the NOBLE library of your choice, and the staff will telephone you when they arrive. Make certain to select "Winthrop" from the "Choose a pickup location" menu, if you want the item(s) to come to this library.
