Your library card lets you borrow items from the White Lake Township Library and the other 74 member libraries in The Library Network, and also the statewide MeLCat program.
Your library card also gives you online access to your account and a variety of informational databases. Once you log into your account with your library card number and PIN, you can place holds, see a list of the items you have checked out, renew your items, and more. You can also download the TLN app from Google Play or the App Store for easy access to the library's catalog on your phone or tablet.
To ensure the accuracy of your library record, please use your library card every time you check out materials. If your card is lost or stolen, please notify the library immediately. Your library record is confidential.

Library items may be reserved or placed on hold through the online catalog, at the Adult or Children's Information desks, or by phone. Your library card number and your PIN will be needed to place your hold. You will be notified when the item is ready for you to pick up from our self-service holds shelf.
Please remember to check out your hold with circulation staff, at one of our Express Checkout machines or at our new Drive Up Window.
