Does my library card expire?

Post Published: April 2, 2017

Does my library card expire?

Library cards are valid for a three-year period. Your card will be automatically renewed for another three years if you’re eligible for online renewal.

You will be notified if you need to renew your library card in person. Visit any open library location with your ID and proof of local address to renew in person.

If your card has already expired, visit the library with your ID and proof of local address to verify your account. You may be issued a new physical library card and new library card number, depending on the age of your card.

If you applied for your library card online, you received a temporary card number for your library account. Visit any open library location within 30 days with your ID and proof of local address to verify your account. You will receive a physical library card and new library card number at that time.

Other questions about your account expiration? Please use this form to ask.
