You can now check your library account by phone -- a new feature of our new library system.

Dial: 732-750-2965 and follow the prompts. You'll be asked to enter your library card number and PIN.

If you don't have or don't know your PIN, come to the library with your library card and ID and ask a staff member.

Of course, if you prefer Internet access, you can always check your account via the new iBistro catalog screen. To do this, return to the Library Homepage and choose your access: In-Library ~or~ Remote. Then select My Account from the menu on the screen and follow the prompts.

Again, if you don't have or don't know your PIN, come to the library with your library card and ID and ask a staff member.
