Get a Library Card

 

We're currently experiencing issues with our online registration form. We hope to have this remedied shortly. In the meantime, you can sign up for a library account in person at the library Welcome Hub, or call 919.968.2777 for assistance.

💳 CHCCS students and staff—you already have a library account! Click here to learn more.

Set up your library account by completing the form on the right. You can also stop by the library in person to get a card.  

Once you submit the form, you will receive a six-digit library account number. You no longer need a physical library card to borrow materials — though you can have one if you'd like. Instead, you can access our collection using this number. 

Library cards are available at no cost to the following: 

  • People who live in Orange County  
  • People who pay property taxes to Chapel Hill or Orange County  
  • Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools employees, regardless of where they live  
  • Town of Chapel Hill employees and those who retired from the Town with 5 years of service, regardless of where they live 

Don't meet any of these criteria?  

You can get a card for $65 per year. Register now for immediate access and we will be in touch for payment processing.
