How to log in

Any time you want to sign in, you need to enter your login name. Your login name is a combination of a code for your school and your school lunch number or ID number.

What is my school code?
Code | School District
BL | Blaine
FE | Ferndale
LN | Lummi Nation
LY | Lynden
ME | Meridian
MB | Mount Baker
NV | Nooksack Valley

Example: if you attend the Meridian School District and your lunch number is 800000, your library login will be ME800000. Your default PIN is 1234, but you can change it after you sign in to the catalog the first time.

You can use this login and PIN to check out books, DVDs, graphic novels and video games from any WCLS location. You can also check out eBooks and eAudiobooks, download or stream music, read eMagazines, or do research for homework. If you want to request books from the library catalog, you have to sign in to the catalog and go through a short process to set it up.

Troubleshooting Hints

Wrong name?  Re-enter your student ID number.  If that still doesn’t work, talk to your teacher or librarian to verify your student ID.

Wrong birthday? You can continue setting up your online account. Next time you’re at the library, you should have a librarian correct it.

Wrong email address?  You can continue setting up your online account. Next time you’re at the library, you should have a librarian correct it.

Misspelled Name?  You can continue setting up your online account. Next time you’re at the library, you should have a librarian correct it.

I received the message “user name or pin is incorrect.”  Try re-entering your number.  If that doesn’t work, talk to your teacher or librarian to verify your student ID number.  If you have the correct ID number and it’s still not working, talk to your parent or guardian to see if you have been opted out.
