PIN/Password Updates & Instructions
To increase privacy and security for our Stark Library patrons, we are implementing a PIN/Password requirement for select online and in-person services.
Who will be affected by this change?
ONLINE: All Libby and/or Kanopy users will need to have their personal Barcode and PIN/Password to access these online services as of December 9, 2026. Both platforms have decided to make this change for all users. Current Libby and/or Kanopy users will not be able to access online content without their personal Barcode and PIN/Password starting December 9, 2026. Once you have successfully used this information to log into Libby and/or Kanopy, you will not have to enter it every time you go back into these platforms unless you log yourself out, or log into these services from another device.
IN-PERSON:All patrons who use the following in-person services at one of our locations will need to have their personal Barcode and PIN/Password for access to our Public Computers, Self-Release Printing, Self-Check Stations, and 24/7 Locker Pick-Up Locations - starting systemwide before the end of this year.
Follow these instructions to find your PIN/Password:
- Don't know your PIN/Password?
