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 library card. This card will be mailed to you within a week and gives you access to the library’s online services, such as Sunflower eLibrary. To update your card to check out physical materials contact the Circulation department at 785-833-9218, to set up an appointment.
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.
