Library
Card Application over the Internet, fill it out and bring it
with you to the library. You will need Adobe
Acrobat Reader which is available free of charge from Adobe
Systems. (Use the link above).
Eligibility
Free library cards are issued to California residents with identification and proof of current address. Children in the 8th grade and under need a parent's signature to obtain a card. A current Glendora Library card must be presented in order to check out materials.
Borrowing Privileges
Library cards entitle users to borrow from the full range of circulating materials.
Registration
Adult applicants (18 years and older) must be present when registering for a library card. Children in eighth grade or younger must be accompanied by a parent/guardian who is required to sign the application. Ninth to twelfth grade students do not need parents' signature if the student can show proper ID (School ID with picture is acceptable) and proof of residence address. Guardians must show proof of legal guardianship. Parents/Guardians may register their children without the child being present.
No Age Restrictions
There are no age restrictions in obtaining a library card.
Without Your Card
Proper identification with name and current address is required to look up the record in the computer.
PIN
A Personal Identification Number (PIN) is issued to every library
card holder. The last four digits of your telephone number will be
your default PIN number. The PIN number can be used in conjunction with the
library card number to access individual library accounts remotely
via the library's catalog, place holds, request Interlibrary Loans,
