Q: I forgot my password. How do I reset it? A: If you have an email account attached to your library card, visit the MultCoLib page (link at the right), and choose the CONTACT US link. They'll send your email a link to reset your password.
Q: Is my Catlin photo ID enough to get a MultCoLib card? A: Yes! As long as you're 13 or older, the photo ID should do it.
In addition to our own books and databases, the public library offers dozens of databases, and thousands of ebooks, audiobooks, and streaming music that you may access using the barcode on the front of your shiny new library card. Having a library card is the first step in becoming a power user. You'll have access to hundreds of thousands of dollars' worth of research materials.
