Cardinal tips and tricks

  • Transylvania County cardholders have dibs on any new items we own for the first 6 months after they are added to our Library’s collection. The same is true at other libraries.
    • If you are trying to place a hold on a new item that we don’t own yet but another library does, the catalog might not let you. In that case, you can suggest that we get a local copy or you can wait a few months and try again.
  • Explore an interactive map to find NC Cardinal libraries. All public libraries in western North Carolina are members!
  • When searching the online catalog, you can see results from all NC Cardinal libraries or just Transylvania County.
    • All Cardinal shows all possibilities, and just Transylvania is useful for seeing what is immediately available locally.
    • If you have a preference, you can set it your account settings so it will default to your choice whenever logged in.
  • You checkout history is private and is not tracked unless you enable tracking in your account settings. Even if enabled, only you can see your history — not library staff.
  • Your PIN/password is usually either the last four digits of your library card number or the last four digits of your phone number. 
    • You can change your PIN through the “My Account” section of the online catalog
