How Do I get a card?

At the library:

People of all ages can apply for a card.  To sign up, bring your driver’s license or other photo ID and proof of current mailing address, such as a recent piece of mail.

We ask that minors without photo ID and all children under the age of 13 be accompanied by a parent/guardian to receive a card.


Card Applications: English & Spanish

Who Can Get a Card?

Residents of Faulkner and Van Buren counties may get a Regional Library Card.  This card can be used at any of the libraries in our region:  Clinton, Conway, Damascus, Greenbrier, Mayflower, Mt. Vernon, Twin Groves and Vilonia.

If you live outside our service area, you may be eligible for a card through the Gateway Project, a collection-sharing program that provides free library services to Central Arkansas residents who live in certain counties. To qualify for Gateway access, you must have a card and be in good standing with your local library.  Visit the library and talk to a staff member for more information about getting a Gateway Card.
