Connecting a Child’s Library Card to a Guardian’s Account

Julkaistu , kirjoittanut

You can connect your child’s library card to your own account at the web library. This way you can renew your child’s loans without logging into their account.

You will need your own library card number and PIN code, as well as the child’s library card number and PIN code.

  • Login to the web library using your library card number and PIN code.
  • In the Your Account section, go to the Library Cards tab.
  • Click the Link library card / parallel card button (see the picture).
  • Add a name for the library card (optional), the child’s library card number, and the child’s PIN code. Then click the Save button.
  • The next time you log in, you can choose the library card you want to use in the Your Account section.
  • Even if the child’s card is linked to the guardian’s account, you can still log in directly to the child’s own account using the child’s library card number and PIN code.
