How to get a library card
You need a library card to borrow anything from your library, including materials from your library's digital collection.
How to sign up for a library card
Libraries handle the sign-up process for library cards in different ways. Use these steps to find out how to get a card from your library:
- Visit your library's digital collection (find it at overdrive.com).
- Select the "Need a library card?" link in the footer.
At some libraries, you can sign up for a library card instantly with your mobile phone number. At others, you'll be sent to a library card info or sign-up page on your library's main website, or given your library's contact information so you can reach out directly about getting a card.
