Your Borrower ID is the full 14-digit card number on the back of your PantherCard that starts with 24901.

Your Pin/Password is a 4-digit number that represents your 2-digit birth month and 2-digit year of birth.

So if, for example, you were born in July of 1995, your pin would be 0795.

You may be asked to access the library's resources using a Borrower ID and a Pin/Password.

This is NOT your PantherWeb student information!
