Try our new touch screen "self check" machines Check out your own items using our new self check machines. Simply follow the instructions on the screen. Remember to bring your library card to use the self check machines, or, if you're like some of our customers, memorize your card number and PIN (last four numbers of your phone number). If you're checking out DVDs from the adult department or the holds shelf, you will need to remove the security tag or the security case. Ask for instructions at the checkout desk if you need assistance. Self Service Holds Pickup Pick up your own holds from the shelves nearest the checkout desk! For your privacy, holds are shelved using the last 4 letters of your last name, the first letter of your first name and the last 3 digits from your library card number-there will be a label on the spine with this code.
