• Get a Library Card - You may obtain your free Library card at any branch library with proper identification (Photo ID and Proof of Address). Children through the age of 17 must be accompanied by a parent/guardian in order to get a Library card. Anyone who lives, works, attends school, or owns property in Maryland, the District of Columbia, Alexandria, Arlington County, Fairfax County, Falls Church, Loudoun County or Prince William County may get a Prince George's County library card free of charge. Note: Please have your card with you if you want to check out materials.
• Updating your Library Card - The staff members at the Check Out Desk of your local library can update the contact information on your library card record. You can also use "Message to Staff" option, when you access your account from the Library Catalog, to inform us of any changes to your card.
• Library Card Expiration - Library cards expire every three years. To renew your library card, you must visit a branch with photo ID so that staff can verify your address and update the information in your record. This renews the card for another three years.
• Lost or Stolen Library Cards - If any copy of your card is lost or stolen, please report it immediately to a branch of the Prince George's County Memorial Library System. You are responsible for all items borrowed up until the time you report your card lost or stolen. To report your card lost, call or visit any branch library.
• Replacing your Library Card - You can replace your lost library card for free at any branch library with proper identification (Photo ID and Proof of Address).
