FAQs

Password Help: The LOGIN PIN is a 4-digit number that patrons set up when they got their library card. Note: Patrons, who have just applied for an e-card, will get an email with the PIN. The default PIN for e-cards is 1234.

RESET PIN: If patrons forget their PIN, they can call the library to have it reset. Phone 561.533.7354, Monday – Friday, 9:00 am until 5:00 pm.

NOTE: the PIN is NOT the computer password: previously, when patrons were using computers on site (at the library), they would login to the PACs with their library card number and with their last name as the password. That is different from the PIN used with the online library “My Account”.

The PIN number is used for login to the “MY Account”, located in the online catalog’s navigation.  The “My account” is used for requesting items, “Take-Out” services, and for renewing books online.

NEW and ONLINE Services:

  • e-card library card application [link to application: https://lakeworthbeachfl.gov/library-card-application/]
    • NOTE: when library reopens (after the Covid-19 safety-related barriers are installed, etc. – still “to be announced”), the e-cards can be converted to a regular library card. When the patron can present their ID in person, they will obtain a regular library card.  The ID can be a Florida Driver’s License, (with patron’s name and current address), a State ID, a City of Lake Worth ID or a Passport: those are all accepted forms of ID.
    • Other than the e-cards, Children’s cards are only issued when both parent and child are present.
    • Free: regular FREE library cards are issued for patrons who:
      • Live within the City limits of Lake Worth Beach.
