Get a Library Card
You can apply for your Library card online. Once we verify your address, you will have full access to everything we offer, including borrowing items, accessing e-books and much more. In most cases verification happens instantly.
You do not need a physical Library card to use our resources or check out materials. If you would like a physical Library card, stop by any open branch with valid ID.
