To borrow materials, access virtual services and use library PCs, you’ll need a library card.
Virtual Card
Saline County residents can apply online for a free virtual library card. This card will give you access to the library’s online services, such as Sunflower eLibrary. Please allow 24-48 hours to receive your virtual card information via e-mail. To update your card to check out physical materials, visit the Library’s Circulation desk and bring your photo ID.
Patron & Youth Cards
To check out physical materials, bring a current photo ID or photo ID and mail with your name and current address.
Youth 17 and younger must have a parent or guardian accept financial responsibility for fines. The responsible party must present a current photo ID or photo ID and mail with your name and current address for the youth to receive a card.
Library cards are issued to Kansas residents. Those who are out-of-state, but are temporarily Kansas residents, such as a student, may be issued a card. There is no charge for a Library card. Patrons who receive a Library card agree to abide by all policies of the Library.
The complete library card policy can be viewed in the library services policy. You can email questions to help@salinapublic.org or call us at 785-833-9218.
