HSPLS consolidating
its patron database

The Hawaii State Public Library System’s patron database will undergo a purge of inactive accounts June 1. Inactive accounts are those with expired library cards and no borrowed library material in the past three years, no outstanding items, charges or fees. HSPLS will also remove the accounts of card holders no longer residing in Hawaii.

Those who only use their library cards to access the library’s Internet stations or subscription databases may notice their accounts have been purged, as well.

A patron may reactivate a purged account, free-of-charge, by completing a new library card application form and presenting it with his card and valid identification. The database cleanup will not affect active library patrons.
