Library cards are free to residents of Monroe County and may be used at any public library in Monroe County.
Your Monroe County Library System card opens the door to a world of information and entertainment: books, e-books, movies, music downloads, CDs, audiobooks, online newspaper and magazine articles, library computers and more. All you need to get started is a library card.
Card/Account Registration
You can register for a library card at any MCLS library. You will be required to show a form of identification to verify identity and County residence. Youth and children’s cards can be issued at most ages with approval of a guardian. Corporate and business card registration is also available.
Register for a MCLS E-Card, which provides access to our digital collections only. Our digital collections include downloadable e-books, e-audiobooks and videos as well as research databases. Full borrowing and library use privileges can be obtained with on-site registration. When replacing an E-card with a full-service card, be sure to let us know so that we may transfer OverDrive transactions to your new card!
