Library Cards: To apply for a library card, please bring photo ID and proof of your current address to the circulation desk within the library.  If your photo ID (e.g. driver's license) has your current address, that is all you need - otherwise please bring a rent receipt, current utility bill (no more than 30 days old), property tax statement or other official document that verifies your address.  Children under the age of 15 need to have a parent or legal guardian with them to sign the application, but those 15-17 years of age may register on their own if they have a current driver's license.

Library access for the way Oregonians live: Oregon libraries traditionally supported cooperative programs that extend service across boundaries, including services such as Library2Go and AnswerLand.  These have a shared goal of meeting Oregonians where they are. The Oregon Library Passport Program builds on this tradition by providing access to physical materials as well.  The Passport Program is sponsored by the Oregon Library Association’s Resource Sharing Committee.

The Oregon Library Passport Program recognizes that library service ought to mirror the way Oregonians live, work, shop, and play, and reduce barriers to library service. The underlying premise of the Passport Program is that card-holders of tax-supported libraries ought to be able to use other tax-supported libraries.  The Passport Program is meant to be an exchange; a library extends service to users of other participating libraries, and vice versa.
