The possibilities truly do start when you apply for a Glendale Public Library card. Just follow these few easy steps, and you'll be ready to begin your online adventure!
Be sure you live in Glendale
It is very common to have a Glendale mailing address but reside outside the actual city limits. Since a Non-Resident fee is charged if you live outside the city limits, it's best to check and be sure. CLICK HERE to connect to Glendale's Neighborhood Information System. Once connected, simply click on the drop down menu on the right and select Address. Input your address and click Begin Search. Look for a message beneath the Begin Search button.

Visit the library and choose your card
Once you have submitted your application, you must visit one of our libraries in 7 days to complete this process. Valid photo identification and proof of address are required for all new Library Cards. Children 13 and under must have a parent or legal guardian present for application. Students 14-17 can apply without a parent or guardian present; however, parents/guardians will be notified by mail that the card has been issued to the student.
