Residents of California can get a free library card.
Pre-register for a Library Card
You will be given a temporary library account with a temporary library card number. This gives you access to limited online resources. During the pandemic closure our content providers have extended services to temporary card holders. Learn more about the expanded access for new temporary card holders.
You must provide in-person verification of being a California resident at the library. The following library branches are currently open: Mitchell Park, Rinconada, and Children's Library. Be prepared to provide a photo ID and proof of your current California address when you arrive.
