NOTE: If you have a Westbury Library card you can view your library card account information. If your card is in-good-standing renew and place requests for certain titles from the catalog online! Read all on-screen notes and follow the instructions carefully. You will need to enter your barcode number (no spaces) and your pin number. The first time you do this, the submit screen will pop-up a second time and you will have to enter your pin and enter it again below to verify. If you have any problem accessing your account please bring your Westbury card and ID to the Library.

Please remember that certain items cannot be renewed and that fines accrue in a normal manner on items that are renewed late or returned late. Certain items may be unavailable to fill your request and some items will fill your request only if owned by your home library.
