Your Library Card — It's the Most Important Card in Your Wallet

Library cards are free to Lexington County residents and property owners. To register for your card, visit any library branch and complete an application. You’ll need photo identification and proof of residency. You can also register for a library card online. Non-resident property owners must provide a current property tax receipt. Non-residents who don't own property in Lexington County can get a library card for a yearly $35 fee.

Acceptable proof of residency is a valid driver’s license with current address or a photo identification and one of the following:

Lexington County property tax receipt with current address
Utility receipt in person’s name
Rent receipt (with address) in person’s name
Vehicle registration or insurance card with current address
Printed check with current address
Cancelled mail to current address
Voter registration card

For minors under the age of 15 a parent or legal guardian must sign the application.
