All residents of Ohio are eligible to apply for a free library card. To receive your card, please read and accept the terms of our Borrower’s Agreement, complete the application form and bring your photo ID with proof of current address to the help desk at any of our three locations.
If you already have a library card with us, you don’t need a separate e-card to borrow electronic materials. If you don’t have a card, and only wish to borrow digital materials, you can apply and get an e-card immediately. An e-card gives you access to all of our databases, and our electronic and streaming resources like Libby and Hoopla. To apply for an e-card, click on Get a Library Card, read and accept the terms of our Borrower’s Agreement, click on the box at the top of the application form that says “I would like an e-card only for now”, and complete the application form. On completion, you will see your e-card number displayed. You will also receive an email with your e-card number. You can now borrow digital media.
