Re: Patron Status and Reserves
    When checking your status or placing a reserve on an item, you will be asked to Please enter the following data for authentication purposes:

  • The barcode number on your BMPL borrower's card is a 14-digit number.  However, when entering your number for authentication, use only the five-digit number as represented by the underlined, bold Xs in this example:
    2 4 7 0 6 0 0 0 X X X X X X.

  • You must spell your First and Last Names exactly as they appear on your application card at the library (or on your printed checkout receipt).  If you are unable to access your status record, contact the library during open hours at 934-4706.

Do not place a reserve on an item that is currently in the library and available for circulation.  Library staff will not pull items from the shelves that have been reserved via the Internet.  If an item is listed as currently in the library, you must come into the library to check it out.
    If an item is currently checked out of the library and you reserve it via the Internet, your name will be placed on the Reserve List for that item.  When that item becomes available, library staff will notify you, and you will have two days to come into the library to check out that item.
