Get a Library Card
Fill out the Library card application on this page to get your Library card. Most people who live, work or go to school in Seattle can get a free Library card and get access to Library materials and resources.
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.
