Frequently Asked  Questions How do I get a library card? Stop by the library and complete an application form with your signature. Children under the age of 16 must have a guardian’s signature.

You'll find an Access PA sticker on the card that allows you to search for books on the PA online database of all library holdings.

There are two ways to renew your library books: You may bring your books to the library to have them physically renewed. OR Renew your books electronically from the comfort of your own home. The first step is to visit the library to request a PIN number from the librarian. Unfortunately, this can’t be done by phone. You’ll then be provided with a computer-generated PIN number that you may change, once you’ve logged on to MY ACCOUNT at www.buckslib.org. You will then be able to renew your books twice, under MY ACCOUNT, as long as there are no fines or overdue materials. How do I become a Board Member?
