How much do you have to pay to get a library card?

Answer 1

Different library systems have different policies when it comes to charging for library cards. Many public libraries don't charge anything for a library card, while others may charge a small annual fee for adults (which can usually be waived if a user cannot afford it). Of those public libraries that do, in fact, charge a user fee, the amount is typically less than $15.

Answer 2

The cost of a library card varies between different library systems. As such, in order to find out how much a card will cost for your local library, it would be best to visit your library's website and/or go to the library in person and ask.

Generally speaking:

• If a library charges a membership fee, it is typically less than $15.
• If you are a "non-resident", there is almost always a membership fee (the amount can vary significantly; some libraries will charge anywhere from $20 to $120).
• Those under the age of 18 almost always get their library cards at no cost; some libraries have fees for those between 12 and 17. The cost for minors is almost always lower than that charged for adults.
• If you cannot afford the cost of a card, for any reason whatsoever, most public libraries will waive the fee; in most cases, you do not need to "prove" that you cannot afford it.
