How do I get a library card?
Colorado residents who are 17 years of age or older can register for a Jefferson County Public Library account by visiting any of our full-service locations with a current photo ID with them. Residents who are under 17 may do so with a parent or guardian who has current photo ID with them.
You can also apply for a digital library card online. If your name and address are verified, you will be issued a card that matches your eligibility. If your identity cannot be verified, you will receive a temporary library card that can be converted to a permanent card by bringing your photo ID to any of our locations within three weeks.
Acceptable forms of ID for users 17+ to register for new library card:
• State issued Driver’s License, ID card or digital ID in the MyColorado app
• Passport, Military ID, or Matricula Consular card
• University or School ID
Your ID doesn’t need to list CO address, but new registrants must have an address in Colorado.
