Don't Bin Your Pin !

Central Lending Library has now introduced Self-Service. This means that you will need to know your PIN whenever you want to borrow books. Please ask the staff if you don't know your PIN - you can also change it to a number that is easier for you to remember!

Get it. Know it. Use it!
