How to Get a Library Card
Library cards are available free of charge to all residents of Washington,
Multnomah, Clackamas, Clark, Klickitat and Skamania Counties. Proof of address and picture identification
are required. Acceptable ID for adults includes a state ID card or Driver's License with a current
address. Also accepted are utility bills, a rent receipt or mail with current address and a
recent postmark.
Teens or children may show proof of enrollment in any Tigard/Tualatin public school, or
an ID in the name of their parent or guardian. Parents or guardians of all youths under
18 will be given a letter outlining guidelines for library use. This letter will be mailed
if the parent or guardian is not present at the time the card is issued.
Patrons who live outside the Library service area and wish to get a card will be charged a
$95 annual use fee. Patrons who do not live in the listed counties may still receive a
free limited-use "Local Courtesy card" if they can provide evidence that they work or
attend school in the Tigard city limits.
Library Card Policies
Patrons must have their card or card number in order to conduct any library business, either in person or over the phone. When using a card number only, patrons must be able to verify registration information for security purposes. This includes checking items out, picking up holds and viewing their library record. Staff may be able to access a patron's account with picture identification. If there are any difficulties with the on-line database, staff will not be able to access your account without your card. Please bring your library card to avoid any difficulty.
To access a friend or family member's record, patrons must provide that card or card number. When using a card number only, patrons must be able to verify registration information for security purposes. Items may be renewed or fines paid without a card or card number in order to clear up records; however, titles on the record cannot be revealed without the card or card number.
Please remember that your library card is your responsibility. Signing your library card indicates that you accept full responsibility for its use. Please notify the library immediately if your card is lost or your address changes. Replacement cards cost $1.
If you have any questions about these policies, feel free to ask at the Circulation Desk.
