Using the Library

A guide to NECC Library's catalog with information about library cards, loan periods, fines, and requests.

How do I get a Library Card?

Your library card allows you to access your NECC Library Account to request and renew books and other items.

Your library barcode can be found in the bottom corner of your NECC Student ID card. Visit the Welcome Express Desk in the Behrakis One-Stop Student Center, 100 Elliot Street in Haverhill, or the Welcome Express Desk in the John R. Dimitry Building at 45 Franklin Street, Lawrence, MA 01840 to receive a new Student ID with the library card number or use the following information:

Your library card number is 203850 + your 8-digit NECC ID Number.

(For instance, if your Student ID number is 00223344, your library card number is: 20385000223344)

Your password is your 8-digit birthday.

(For instance, if your birthday is April 15, 1996, your password is: 04151996)

If this information does not work, contact the library. NECC ID numbers expire once you stop taking classes, or after a set period of time if you are not a student.
