My Library Card, Account Settings, and Personal Info

The library sends email notices for Holds, Checkouts, Renewals, Due Date Reminders, Overdue items and Library Card Renewal from the notices@library-arlingtonva.us address. You can also opt in to receive some notices by text and via the Library App.

The Library sends regular email newsletters about library collections, services and programs from the no-reply@messages-arlingtonva.us address.

If you use apps from Library vendors such as OverDrive/Libby, you may also receive emails about your library materials and account status from those vendors.

As soon as you get your library card number, you can access eBooks/eAudiobooks, digital magazines, article databases and most online resources, and place holds on items in the library catalog.

Visit the library within 30 days with proof of identification and local address to verify your account. You will not be allowed to pick up holds or use self-check at the Library, or use LinkedIn Learning online, until your account has been verified.

Your username is set by default and will appear on hold slips and can also be used to log into your Library account and some eResources in place of your card number.

If you have never selected a username, the default username is your name: FirstMiddle.Last or First.Last.

To update your username, log into your Library Account with your library card number and password. Your username is under Account Settings > My Preferences.

Usernames must be between 6 and 25 characters (letters and number only, no special characters).
