Where You Can Get A Non Resident Library Card
There’s nothing worse than a lousy library. Your library might have a tiny budget or never buy the books you really want to check out or the hold lines on Libby are fifty years long.
Good news!
There are lots of places to get library cards for non-residents (even better, many of them are free non-resident library cards!).
But even if they aren’t free non-resident library cards, it may be worth $50-100 a year for you to have access to the library catalog of a much bigger collection.

Hi! I’m not on Instagram so figured I’d ask here. I love Mary Oliver’s poetry and was wondering if you have other poetry book recommendations? Thank you! I love love love your blog!
Hi Ashlee! You might enjoy Wendell Berry, Billy Collins, or Stanley Kunitz 🙂
If you have a teenager, here’s a tip: Brooklyn Public Library and Seattle Public Library offer free library cards to non-resident teenagers as a service to counter book bans. It’s amazing, and I’m so thankful my daughter has amazing book access even though we don’t live in either of those cities.
Another tip: if you’re not sure which library to pay to access, you can browse and compare their ebook collections before committing. You can even see the number of ebooks and audiobooks offered – for example, Queens has 111,000 ebooks, Carnegie has 106,000, and Philly has 65k.
Hi Kate! Do you have to live in WA to apply for that teen library card? Or do they accept out of state applicants? I went to the website and couldn’t find that info anywhere. Thanks in advance.
https://www.spl.org/about-us/news-releases/the-seattle-public-library-joins-books-unbanned-to-fight-censorship-with-free-card-for-youth
Thanks for posting the link, Megan!
We are not WA residents and my daughter was able to get the card.
Brooklyn no longer does out of state according to website.
Also, if you are using Libby it will scan all the libraries you have saved in your account for any books you want.
Yeah Brooklyn no longer offers it but they added Boston and San Diego. I was able to get my daughter three new library cards today.
Omaha, Nebraska:
Anyone who does not live in Douglas County and is not eligible for reciprocal privileges can purchase a non-resident membership which entitles each member of a household to library privileges for the amount of time purchased.

All Massachusetts residents or anyone who works in Massachusetts can get a Boston Public Library e-card at no cost! https://www.bpl.org/ecard/
Kansas city public library allows anyone to signup for free. https://kclibrary.org/services/library-cards
Seems as though non-resident access to KCPL is for use when visiting the area as permissions to digital resources are locked.
The following are also in MA and available to any MA residents free of charge (some also for nonresidents), though many require you go in person once to update from temporary card to permanent card. Some of those can be done by phone or email. I believe all offer at least an initial ecard with a quick online application.
CW MARS
Atheneum (Nantucket), so part of CLAMS (options out of MA)
QLL (Queer Liberation Library – believe nationwide, online only, apply but they reasons in a week and just seem to check you’re in the US)
Minuteman network depends on which but many, including Waltham and Framingham, are MA residents
SAILSINC libraries tend to be more restrictive but offer an ecard for all residents of the Commonwealth
You mentioned Boston Public Library, which at least at times has options for people out of MA who don’t work in MA as well
I understand some of the many colleges and universities also have options, but they vary a lot. Generally, private ones offer cards not just to students, staff, and alumni but also residents of the city or town. Some offer more broadly. Many are open in person to anyone and only limit certain resources to access on location or lending physical materials to certain groups/residents/in person.
If you get a Boston Public Library ecard (free for mass residents)you can use that card for digital resources for MA Library systems: Boston Public, CWMars, Minuteman, NOBLE, SAILS, CLAMS, and Merrimack Valley.
Nashville Public Library system is only $10/year for non-Davidson county residents!
But you have to be in their broader “service area.”
Which non resident library has the best or largest digital collection?
The Fairfax Co option has been fantastic and well worth the $27/year IMO
If you want a library card from San Diego, you can only get a temporary one for 30 days, then it will expire.
Indiana has a statewide card for anyone who is an Indiana resident. It’s $65 a year.
https://www.in.gov/library/services-for-libraries/ldoresources/placrules/plac/
The Queens Public Library also allows non-USA residents to purchase membership. I am a Canadian who took advantage of this and I borrow ebooks and audiobooks ALL THE TIME that my local libraries don’t have. I also “share” (ahem) my son’s membership to a much larger city library than my local suburban library.
Except for the Library of Congress (got one a long time ago in Grad school), it doesn’t seem like any are free to non-state residents. If some have a very large catalog the fee would probably be worth it.
I just signed up for the Sunnyvale Public Library online for free. It’s in CA, but I live in VA. I just barely signed up and checked out my first book there on Libby just 10 minutes ago!
I am not able to sign up for the sunnyvale library 😔
Really? I just signed up for the Sunnyvale card online
Where do you say your main branch is?
I had one during lock down but after it expired I wasn’t able to renew it, a librarian informed me that they were doing away with out of state cards.
I live in Brigham City, UT and they have a cooperative agreement with 6 Utah counties that you can get a free library card (including for electronic items!) For the other counties/cities!! Here is what the website says:
“Library cards are free to residents of Weber and Davis Counties, Morgan County, Summit County (with the exception of Park City), Brigham City, and Logan City. Signature of parent or legal guardian is required for persons under 18.”
AMAZING!!
We live outside your city library boundaries, so we would have to pay for a library card. But they allowed our kids to get a free card because they went to school. It also worked for homeschooling.
California residents can also get an Oakland card for free, and I think without being physically present. They have some of the best selection on Libby, in my opinion. Also, Hoopla. They expire after 3 years.
Confirmed! When you sign up online, it expires after 30 days but you can call them to renew it (3 years). I was able to sign up for this library from SoCal.
I tried to sign up for Oakland with a Brentwood address and it wouldn’t let me. I also tried to sign up with LAPL with a Redondo address and no luck their either. I have addresses in both places and neither worked for me, I was bummed.
I have found LAPL (Los Angeles CITY Public Library) to be kind of a pain to sign up for. I didn’t bother. However…
Los Angeles COUNTY Public Library (https://lacountylibrary.org/) was a breeze. They have online sign up for a digital card – if you live in Redondo, you definitely qualify.
Both my husband and I have the Broward County Library card for free in Florida. We live in Virginia. We applied online and now have cards. It’s a great library with lots of audiobooks on Libby. 🙂
Could you leave a link for the sign up? Thanks!
https://broward.ent.sirsi.net/client/en_US/default/?rm=ONLINE+REGISTR0%7c%7c%7c1%7c%7c%7c0%7c%7c%7ctrue&dt=list
Eligibility requirements are to either currently live, work, attend school or be visiting Broward County, or to have been born in Broward County (regardless of current residency).
What did you put as your home branch
Pikes peak library district offers a non resident card to Colorado residents, and I think their ebook selection is the best of the libraries I’ve seen. https://ppld.org/sites/default/files/policies/librarycardpolicy.pdf
The card remains active for only 30 days unless you visit the library with ID and proof of address.
Anything for New Mexico? I didn’t see a section for that state.
Thank you! I just signed up for the Queens library card and 6 books on my “notify me when available” list popped up immediately! My local library in central Minnesota is small and they don’t have a lot of the newer eAudiobooks. Filling up my Libby app for Labor Day weekend!
Oklahoma County library system has one of the best online catalogs in the country and we do offer a library card for a fee for those out of our coverage area.
Would you be willing to share the library card link, please?
https://www.metrolibrary.org/about-us/accounts
As of July 1, 2024, the Oklahoma County Library System no longer issues non-resident card to those who live outside Oklahoma.
Given Memorial Library in Pinehurst, NC is free for anyone to get a library card.
Southern Pines Public Library is $60 annually for non-town residents.
New York Public Library also offers free cards to anyone residing anywhere in the state.
https://www.nypl.org/library-card
Salt Lake County, UT has just gone up significantly. I believe it is now $180/year for the first card in the family, and still $5 per card for other family members.
That’s for Salt Lake County, not Salt Lake City. SLC is still $80 a year.
I saw recently that the Central Arkansas Library System allows non residents to get cards for $54 a year.
The Anaheim Public Library allows anyone in the world to get an Online Services Card. Also any CA resident can get a free full-service card by visiting.
https://anaheim.net/1229/Get-Started
They use Cloud Library, not Libby, however.
Update: they have unfortunately discontinued that service.
For Idaho libraries, if you have a card to the following libraries, you can add any of the other libraries on this list to your Libby account for free shared access. Some have limits on how you can reserve books but most give you full access.
Just plug these into your app search for a library and use your own card number and you’re in!
Blackfoot Public Library
Boise Public Library
Cooperative Information Network
East Bonner County Library District
Idaho Digital Consortium
Idaho Falls Public Library
IDEA by ICfL
Kuna Library District
LIBRI System Inc
LYNX Library Consortium
Meridian Library District
Valnet
I wish I could hug a stranger through the internet right now. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
It didn’t work for me! Any other ideas? Thanks
Harris County, FL free for all, they’re on Libby. I live in WA and gave my home address. Sunnyvale on your list was new to me, worked too. Thanks! Also can verify that San Jose works.
Is there a Harris County FL?
Harris county is in Texas, and is only for residents of the county.
I got one free also and I live in WA too.
Just a note about the information under “Nevada” – Nevada County is actually in California. (It’s a close neighbor to Washoe County in Nevada, but still in California.)
Unfortunately the link for Iowa is an application for a card that only gives access to a specific catalog of law books, Iowa history, library reference books, etc. Many of those are one of a kind copies that can’t leave the location and there aren’t fiction offerings or audiobooks which is the access I would guess people on this page are hoping to find. If another statewide source is found I would love to know but after waiting to receive my card number in hopes that I could access more books I thought I could spare other Iowa residents the runaround to find out their number isn’t usable on Libby. Proof of employment is also a requirement.
After trying to get a card through the Hawaii state library system, I learned you have to finalize everything in person for non-resident cards.
Do most of these libraries all use the libby app?
In the rabbit hole of applying for free library cards, I came across this gem. It’s a “FREE browser extension that checks to see whether a book you are perusing online is available via your library as a hard copy, ebook, or audiobook called Library Extension. And it works for multiple libraries at one time in case you have borrowing privileges at more than one library!”
https://www.aworldadventurebybook.com/blog/2017/3/1/a-readers-best-friend-the-library-browser-extension
To get a $20 non-resident card at Fargo Public Library (in ND), you have to finalize your account IN PERSON at one of their library branches.
San Diego. The CITY library system offers a non-resident car but the COUNTY system does not. It’s too bad. The county library system is far superior.
The Tooele City Library in Utah has a non-resident library card for $30/year. As far as I know, you have to get it in-person. I’m on the board of directors there and will have to see if they could do an online sign-up option! It’s one of the cheaper ones I’ve heard of. I’ve heard people who live outside city limits (but in the county) complain and say they’ll buy their own books instead of paying that “outrageous” price. I don’t think they realize that $30 will only get you two or three books… Meanwhile, I’m trying to justify some of these $50+ non-resident cards in my head haha.
Non residents can get an Austin Public Library card for $22/year
Sunnyvale library worked for me as out of state registrant last fall (2023) but I just got a failure message when I tried to borrow a digital book. Attempting to log in again with my ID number and PIN did not work.
The sign up page now specifies it is only open to California residents, I’m guessing they have cleaned up out of state cardholders from their database.
You can also add milwaukee public library $100/year: https://www.mpl.org/library/library_card/#:~:text=Residents%20of%20any%20other%20community,Milwaukee%20Public%20Library%20subscription%20databases.
I was looking into Broward County , FL, library card and was interested to see that if you were born there you can get free card even if you no longer live there! I wonder if anyone else does this!
I hate to be the bearer of bad news. All the libraries you have mentioned and others will give you a card then they will expire (within a month) and you have to verify with a picture ID to keep it active.
This is very true! Happened to me summer 2024. So sad!!
In Virginia, the Newport News and Moneta libraries both allow you to get a library card, as long as you have a photo ID and proof of residency. The Moneta library is pretty lax about the requirements.
Carroll County Public Library in Maryland is currently waiving out of state fees and people can sign up for a pre-registration online and check out e-content.
