Apply for a Library Card

Any person who lives, works or attends school in New York State is qualified to receive a New York Public Library card free of charge.

Adult and teen users may either apply online or in person at any New York Public Library location. Applications for children aged 11 and under must be completed in person, and require the signature of a parent or guardian.

When you apply for a card online, you will receive a 7-digit temporary barcode(条形码). This allows you to set a PIN(Personal Identification Number).

After you receive your permanent barcode, which is required to borrow materials, search library databases, or reserve a computer, you must validate your card.

All adult, teen and child library cards for cardholders in New York City and areas of New York State outside of New York City expire(期满) and must be renewed every three years. New library card applicants who applied for a card online must validate their card before full cardholder privileges can be extended.

Cardholders in New York City must visit any New York Public Library location to present the required forms of identification in order to renew or validate their card.

Cardholders from areas of New York State outside of New York City may email scans or copies of the required forms of identification to patronaccounts@nypl.org.

Forgot Your PIN?

If you provide the library with a valid email address, you can click on the Forgot Your PIN? Link on the login(登录) screen of either Bibliocommons or the Classic Catalog. A link with instructions on changing your PIN will be sent to the email address on your account, giving you a brief period of time to update your information. You must select a 4-digit numeric PIN, with no repeating or obvious characters(e.g.1234 or 2222).

If you have not provided us with a valid email address, you have to visit a library location with valid identification to have a staff member reset your PIN for you.

We probably all know people, either at work or in our personal lives, who are really good listeners. No matter what kind of situation we’re in, they always seem to know just what to say and how to say it so that we’re not offended or upset. We probably also know people who are masters at managing their emotions. They don’t get angry in stressful situations. Instead, they have the ability to calmly look at a problem and find a solution. They take criticism well, and they know when to use it to improve their performance.

People like this have a high degree of emotional intelligence, or EI. They know themselves very well, and they’re also able to sense the emotional needs of others.

As more and more people accept that emotional intelligence is just as important to professional success as technical ability, companies are increasingly using EI when they hire and promote someone. For example, one large cosmetics company recently revised their hiring process for salespeople to choose candidates based on emotional intelligence. The result? Salespeople hired with the new system have sold, on average, $91,000 more than salespeople selected under the old system.

Emotional intelligence is the ability to recognize your emotions, understand what they are telling you, and realize how your emotions affect people around you. Emotional intelligence also involves your perception of others: when you understand how they feel, this allows you to manage relationships more effectively.

People with high emotional intelligence are usually successful in most things they do. Why? Because they’re the ones that others want on their team. When people with high EI send an email, it gets answered. When they need help, they get it. Because they make others feel good, they go through life much more easily than people who are easily angered or upset.

The good news is that emotional intelligence can be taught and developed. Many books and tests are available to help you determine your current EI, and identify where you may need to do some work.

1.According to the passage, we’re all probably impressed by people who　　　 .

A. are ready to help others　　 B. are very successful in their lives

C. have high emotional intelligence　　 D. know how to control their temper

2.By mentioning the cosmetics company, the author tries to　　　 .

A. stress the importance of emotional intelligence

B. speak highly of its new salespeople

C. show its effective hiring system

D. explain what improvements it has made

3.The underlined word “they” in the fourth paragraph refers to “　　　 “.

A. your emotions　　 B. people around you

C. effective relationships　　 D. your opinions of others

4.What’s most likely to be discussed in the paragraph that follows?

A. What emotional intelligence is

B. How emotional intelligence can be improved

C. Many books on emotional intelligence

D. More people with high emotional intelligence
