Get a Library Card Online
Are you a Saint Paul resident who's never had a Saint Paul Public Library card? Do you only want to use the library's online services, like e-books or online resources? If so, you're eligible for an eCard. (If you already have a library card, you can use that card for online services.)
To check out physical materials, request an interlibrary loan or reserve a computer, apply for a card in person or visit any Saint Paul Public Library location to convert your eCard to a card with full borrowing privileges.
Current, valid ID with name, photo, and Saint Paul address is required when you convert your eCard.
