All About Your Library Card

The Washington Carnegie Public Library is a city library; this means that the taxing district of the library is within the city limits of Washington. To register for your card, visit the library at 300 W Main St. and have your proof of current address and valid photo identification on hand. For teens and children under the age of 16, a parent or guardian is required to be present for a library card. If your license does not show your current address, please bring a piece of mail with your current address along with your license.

WCPL Resident Card

City residents and property owners are eligible for a free library card. This card is paid for through a library tax on individual property value. A WCPL resident card entitles the card holder to use the materials and services within the building plus the library’s subscription services. This also allows full access to over 100 other Evergreen libraries!

Renew: Every two years

Non-Resident Card

Those living outside the city limits are considered “unserved”. Unserved areas are NOT in a taxing district and these residents may purchase a full resident Evergreen library card. This will provide full library access as if you were a resident.

Renew: Annually, $40

Reciprocal Borrower Card

Library card holders in good standing who are members of libraries on the Statewide Reciprocal Borrowing Covenant List can receive a free reciprocal borrowing card. This card entitles the card holder to use the materials and services within the building.

Renew: Annually
