Get a Library Card

Visit the library or follow the steps below to get your LPL card.

Your library card will give you borrowing privileges at all libraries in the Onondaga County Public Library System, and having a PIN will allow you to access online services, use the self-checkout stations, check your account online, and place your own holds.

Already have a card and need a PIN/password? Visit any OCPL public library and a library staff member will be happy to help you in the set-up process. It takes only a moment.
