Get a library card

Online Library Card Sign Up Available

Complete this short form to receive a temporary library card number which can be used to access our online resources and Front Range Downloadable Library collection. The card is good for 120 days. If you would like to convert your temporary card to a permanent card so you can place holds on physical items and pick them up during curbside service, please visit the library, call 303-658-2601 or email wpl-notices@cityofwestminster.us. Have your temporary card number ready. We will ask a few questions to update your account and send you a new card in the mail.

Other Types of Cards

To receive a Full Use library card, present a state, local or government issued photo ID (including school IDs) with proof of current Colorado address. The name and address on the ID must be for the patron applying for the library card if the applicant is 16 or older. Children under 16 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian when applying.

If you have picture ID but no proof of Colorado address, your library card application can be processed two ways:

1. A Full Use card can be mailed to the address on the application. The card is restricted to a three (3) item checkout limit until received through the mail, usually within 7 days, and presented to library staff on your next visit. If it is returned in the mail, the card will be suspended.
2. A Computer Use Only card can be issued. Computer Use Only cards provide access to library internet computers and some online services, but no check out of materials. Computer Use Only cards cannot be used to book/check out the Colorado State Parks Adventure Pass. These cards can be updated to Full Use Cards upon presentation of proof of address as detailed below.

Temporary Guest Passes are available for visitors who have photo ID and do not wish to apply for a Full Use or Computer Use Only library card. Guest passes are filtered and have a one hour limit.

Please report lost or stolen cards immediately.
