Are you tired of carrying a lot of cards with you? Try the Key Ring App!

If you're tired of carrying all your family's library cards on your keychain, as well as all your bulky store discount cards, try the Key Ring app!

Key Ring lets you create a digital copy of any club card by simply scanning its barcode or by manually entering the barcode number / membership ID. At the point of sale, or when it's time to check out library books, simply launch the Key Ring application, select your saved card from the home screen, scan the barcode from the screen. Yes, you can scan a barcode from your screen!

With Key Ring, you can leave your library cards at home and still check out with no problems. Many library patrons rave about Key Ring, so we wanted to share it with all of our patrons.

Coming Soon: Self Service Holds

No more waiting in line!

Great news: To make the checkout process even easier, the Brentwood Library will soon introduce self-service pickup of holds. You'll be able to pick up your holds yourself, without waiting in line! Since physical cards will be required to check out materials that are on hold, remember to bring the library card associated with that hold. If you can't find your library card, now is a great time to come get a replacement. Let's get ready to enjoy self-service holds!

Reminder: Bring your library card with you on December 17!

We'll be doing software upgrades on December 17, so we won't be able to look you up by name. For this reason, you must have your library card with you to check out materials on December 17. On that day, we will be able to check materials in and out, but we won't be able to:

Take payments for fines

Look you up by name

Create new accounts

Renew existing accounts

Renew checked out items

Place or process Holds

Why are we telling you this now? We want to give you plenty of time to plan ahead!

Bring Your Library Cards on December 17!

Mark your calendars! We wanted to give you plenty of notice about our system upgrades, which are happening on December 17.

Why is this important? On that day, you must have your library card with you to check out materials. We can only check materials in and check materials out on those days. For just one day, we won't be able to:

Take payments for fines

Look you up by name

Create new accounts

Renew existing accounts

Renew checked out items

Place or process Holds

Why are we upgrading Polaris? The upgrade will let us e-mail your checkout receipts to you, offer you easier renewal features online, and more!
