Use this online form to sign up for a new library card account.
A valid email address is required to use the online application.
Your card number will work immediately with most of our digital platforms (with the exception of Hoopla Digital). You will have access to e-books, digital media, and other online resources. Read about them on our Download & Stream page and our Databases & Subscriptions page and visit us on social media for announcements. Your card number also allows you to use computer workstations in the library.
Your Digital Access Card will remain active indefinitely, as long as you use it once during the first 90 days and at least once a year after that.
Verify your account to access our full complement of services.
You can place holds on up to 10 physical items with your Digital account, but in order to check out physical materials like books, DVDs, or video games—or to stream movies, TV shows, comic books and more via Hoopla—you will need to bring in a valid photo ID with your current address.
If your photo ID does not show your current address please bring along a piece of mail, a check, or another item that shows your current address.
