You can get a library card at the front desk. All you need is a valid Colorado I.D with your current address. If you don’t have your current address on your I.D, or don’t have a Colorado I.D, you will need proof of address. For proof of address bring any official piece of mail (bills, insurances, etc). As long as you live in Colorado, you can have a library card with us.

You can be any age. If you are under 18 you will need a parent or a guardian with you.
