How can I sign up for a library card?
What's the difference between a regular library card and an eCard?
Answer
Apply for an eCard online and gain access to all of our digital materials.
To borrow physical materials, you will need a regular library card. We recommend that if you plan to get a regular card, you first sign up for an eCard so your information will be in our system. This will make getting the regular card at a branch faster and easier.
Bring your photo ID and proof of your current address to one of the Open Branches and show them to our staff. They will issue a new card to you, or renew an expired card.
For those who don't live, work, go to school, or own property in New York State, you can sign up for a Non-Resident card.
