Library - Online Library Card Registration

The possibilities truly do start when you apply for a Glendale Public Library card. Just follow these few easy steps, and you'll be ready to begin your online adventure!

Be sure you live in Glendale

It is very common to have a Glendale mailing address but reside outside the actual city limits. Since a Non-Resident fee is charged if you live outside the city limits, it's best to check and be sure. CLICK HERE to connect to Glendale's Neighborhood Information System. Once connected, simply click on the drop down menu on the right and select Address. Input your address and click Begin Search. Look for a message beneath the Begin Search button.

When filling out the online registration form, please use ONLY CAPITAL LETTERS and no punctuation in your address.
