Temporary Library Cards

Want to access online library resources like ebooks, streaming movies, research databases, and more, but don’t have a library card? While our member libraries work to safely resume services, several libraries have created online registration pages that will let you sign up for a temporary library card online! Other libraries will help you create an account with staff–just send them an email or give them a call to get started.

Please be aware that it will take from 24 to 48 hours for a new digital card to be issued.

Please select your hometown library from the list below, and either click the link and fill out the registration form or send an email asking for your temporary card.
