How do I get a library card?

Two ways: Come to the library and apply in person, or apply online for a "digital only card". Digital cards gain you access to our electronic resources, and can be "upgraded" to a real library card so you can borrow books and movies. For details on what is required, click on the link at the top of the page that says "Get a Card". Do apply online for a "digital only card", click here.

Does my library card account expire?

Yes. Your library card expires so library staff can ensure your address, phone number and email are up to date.

  • Regular library cards expire after one year after you are issued it. Then once you update your registration it will expire after every 2 years.
  • Non-resident cards expire after 90 days or 1 year depending on the type purchased.
  • Guest computer cards expire after 6 months.
