Get a Card

Signing up is free and easy

To sign up for a general library card, please visit one of the 16 WCCLS libraries and bring a photo ID and verification showing you live in Washington County. You can fill out an application at the library or bring a completed form with you. 

Having a WCCLS library card also enables you to get a free library card at any Oregon library participating in the Oregon Library Passport Program. To get a card at a participating Oregon Passport library, show your WCCLS library card and a form of identification. Libraries typically require a photo ID with proof of address. Checkout limits and loan periods vary by library. 

Residents of Washington County are also eligible to get a reciprocal library card at participating libraries across the Portland metro area through the Metropolitan Interlibrary Exchange (MIX) agreement. MIX libraries include Multnomah County Library, Library Information Network of Clackamas County, Fort Vancouver Regional Library District, Camas Public Library, and Hood River County Library District.
