Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get a library card?
Please refer to our Library Card Registration Policy in English or in Spanish.

What is my PIN?
Your PIN is a 4-digit number. You can set up your PIN by logging in to our Catalog.

Where is my reading history?
You will be able to create (beginning November of 2020) a new reading list in TLC. Unfortunately we were unable to import these when migrating from our previous ILS.

How can I return materials if the Library is closed?
A material drop is located along the Jackson Street entrance and is accessible 24/7.

Can I reserve Library Materials?
YES. All materials may be reserved. If a waiting list exists, items may not be renewed.

What if the Library doesn’t have what I want?
If a requested item is not available from the Bremen Public Library, you may ask for it through inter-library loan. There is usually no charge for this service.

Can I use my BPL card at other libraries?
There are two ways for BPL cardholders to borrow materials from other libraries:

1. Apply for a card from a library with which we have a reciprocal agreement.
2. Purchase a Public Library Access Card (PLAC). The fee changes every January. Please see our PLAC Questions and Answers page for more information.
