Apply for a Library Card

Any person who lives, works or attends school in New York State is qualified to receive a New York Public Library card free of charge.

Adult and teen users may either apply online or in person at any New York Public Library location. Applications for children aged 11 and under must be completed in person, and require the signature of a parent or guardian.

When you apply for a card online, you will receive a 7-digit temporary barcode(条形码). This allows you to set a PIN(Personal Identification Number).

After you receive your permanent barcode, which is required to borrow materials, search library databases, or reserve a computer, you must validate your card.

Renew or Validate Your Card

All adult, teen and child library cards for cardholders in New York City and areas of New York State outside of New York City expire(期满) and must be renewed every three years. New library card applicants who applied for a card online must validate their card before full cardholder privileges can be extended.

Cardholders in New York City must visit any New York Public Library location to present the required forms of identification in order to renew or validate their card.

Cardholders from areas of New York State outside of New York City may email scans or copies of the required forms of identification to patronaccounts@nypl.org.

Forgot Your PIN?

If you provide the library with a valid email address, you can click on the Forgot Your PIN? Link on the login(登录) screen of either Bibliocommons or the Classic Catalog. A link with instructions on changing your PIN will be sent to the email address on your account, giving you a brief period of time to update your information. You must select a 4-digit numeric PIN, with no repeating or obvious characters(e.g.1234 or 2222).

If you have not provided us with a valid email address, you have to visit a library location with valid identification to have a staff member reset your PIN for you.
