Get a Card
Who can get a card
Residents of Parker County, TX, or Aledo ISD, ages 11+ are eligible for a free library card with
- valid photo ID issued by government or school,
- proof of current address
- current contact information, and
- signature agreeing to borrower policies.
Any child ages 6-10, with card-holding parent or guardian present, is eligible for their own free library card. The parent or guardian ultimately assumes responsibility for all items borrowed on a minor's library card.
For children under the age of 6, the parent or guardian will need to use their own library card to borrow items.
How to Get a Card
To apply for a free card, eligible residents may either
- fill out a short form in person, or
- complete an application form online
Regardless of whether the form is completed in person or online, however, an applicant must come to East Parker County Library in person to have their card issued and activated. This is necessary to:
- present the verification documents above, and
- sign the registration form agreeing to borrower policies.
