Library Card Registration

Lost cards may be replaced by the library upon presentation of the required proof of residency and payment of $2 for adults and $1 for children under the age of 16.

Individuals who apply for a library card must present photo identification. If the photo identification does not show the individual’s current local street address, proof of residency in Leon County may be in the form of any one of the documents listed that shows the name of the applicant and the current Leon County street address of residency.

The following documents may be used as proof of residency in Leon County:

1. Current lease agreement, dormitory contract, or rent receipt
2. Current cable, phone, or utility bill with patron's street address
3. Current automobile registration
4. Recent property tax or mortgage payment receipt
5. Leon County voter registration card
6. Recent bank statement with patron's street address

When applying online, provision of a Driver’s License or Florida Identification number will serve as proof of photo identification, and successful delivery of the library card by mail to the residence will serve as proof of address.

Students enrolled in any school college or university located in Leon County may apply for a library card:

1. These individuals must present a valid student ID, report card, current school schedule, dorm contract, or proof of status as a homeschooled student registered with Leon County Schools, as evidence of eligibility.
2. Students under the age of 16 must have a parent or guardian complete the card application and present a state issued photo ID. Parents or guardians are responsible for items checked out by their children.
3. When applying online, students must select that they attend school or are registered for home school in Leon County. Successful delivery of the library card by mail to the residence will serve as proof of address.

Every two years, your library card will need to be renewed. At that time, you will receive an email notifying you that it is time to log in to your library account, update your information, and click Renew. You may also call the library at 850-606-2665 to renew your library card.

There is no charge to renew library cards for Leon County residents, Leon County employees, or students.

To renew a non-resident library card, call 850-606-2665. Fees will be assessed at the rates established for non-residents: $10 for three months, $20 for six months, or $30 for a year.
