Get A Library Card
Your library card is the key to unlimited opportunities for learning, entertainment and technology. Your card can be used at any of the 10 member libraries of the San Joaquin Valley Library System, including any Library location in Fresno County.
There is no charge for a new library card. There is no minimum age required to get your own library card. Teens 13 to 17 years of age can use their student identification and sign the application themselves. Children under 13 years of age need the signature of a parent or guardian with appropriate identification.
To get your card, stop by any Library location with current picture identification.
Acceptable forms of identification include:
- California Driver's License
- California Identification Card
- Immigration Photo
- Current Passport
- Student Identification Card
- Parole Identification Card
- Other types of current, government-issued identification with a photo
Ask library staff for a registration form, or print out a registration form online:
PIN - Personal Identification Number
When you get a card, you will be asked to choose a four-digit PIN which stands for Personal Identification Number. You need this PIN to request materials online or access your library account online and by phone.
Lost Cards
If your card is lost or stolen, let us know immediately. You are responsible for any borrowed items. There is a $1.20 replacement fee for a lost card.
If you have additional questions or need help getting a library card, call (559) 600-READ (7323).
