Get a Library Card
You need a current driver's license with photograph
OR two forms of identification with your name and
current address, one of which includes your signature.
Frequently used types of identification include: current
driver's license, automobile registration, National Grid or telephone bill, tax receipt, sheriff's identification,
school or college identification card, or bus pass
with address.
For information about library cards for children, class visits, temporary residents, or non-residents, ask at your local library or call (315) 435-1904.
Start Your Library Card Application Process Online
Patrons who are at least 13 years old can begin their library card application online. When you register online, you receive a temporary barcode number you can use to request materials and do other operations online. Then come into any library to verify your current address with a picture ID, or two other forms of ID to receive your permanent library card. After you have your permanent card, then you can check out items.
To begin the online card application visit the My Account tab located in the OCPL Catalog, and follow the "click here to register now" link above the barcode/PIN box.
