La preferencia de notificación es cómo será notificado si uno de sus libros reservados ha llegado o si uno artículo que tiene prestado está por vencerse.
Ayude a su hijo escoger 4 números que recuerden. El PIN es la contraseña que va con su número de tarjeta de biblioteca.
Acuerdo *
Estoy de acuerdo que soy responsable de cualquier uso que se le de a mi cuenta y me comprometo a cumplir con las reglas de la biblioteca. Esta tarjeta puede ser utilizada en todas las bibliotecas públicas del Condado de Clackamas. Los reglamentos y servicios varían entre las bibliotecas. Información acerca de una cuenta no se puede dar a ninguna otra persona que no sea el propietario. El estado de Oregón tiene una postura firme en cuanto al derecho a la privacidad de las personas. Los niños de Oregón tienen privilegios completos de privacidad como miembros de la biblioteca. Como padre, para acceder al registro de la biblioteca de su hijo, deberá tener a mano el número de su tarjeta de biblioteca. Le recomendamos que hable con sus hijos sobre los valores de su familia y sobre lo que significa para ustedes el uso adecuado de la biblioteca.

Agreement *
I understand that I am responsible for all use made of my library card and I agree to abide by library rules. This card may be used at all public libraries in Clackamas County.
