How do I get my child a library card?
Anyone who is under 18 is considered a juvenile at the library. A parent or guardian can bring in their personal ID and a recently dated bank statement and/or utility bill.
Can I get a library card without coming in to the library?
Sure! Email a picture or scan of your two proofs of residency to reference@eastrockawaylibrary.org ! We will email back with some questions to answer! Then the library will create your card, email you the barcode (so you can start reading ebooks right away!) and drop your card in the mail! (Everyone likes to get mail!)
