Library cards are issued free to anyone who lives in or owns property in the Thompson-Nicola Regional District. Students attending an educational institution within the District are considered residents.

A library card offers access to the entire collection of the Library System to everyone, regardless of age. Parental consent is required to obtain a library card for children age 11 and under. Persons over age 15 are responsible for all materials borrowed on their card and their child's card, and for any charges on items that are overdue, lost, or damaged. To obtain a library card, apply at any branch or the Bookmobile. Remember to bring proof of identification and proof of your current local address.
