Get a New Library Card

You can now sign up for a New Providence Memorial Library card online

Online registration is for patrons who don’t currently have a card from a library that participates in the Main Library Alliance. Patrons who register through the online registration process will have a fully functional card; your online card registration will provide you with a barcode that you can access through Apple/Google Wallet or the Main SOLUS app. If you also wish to receive a physical library card, you may register online and then visit the library in person. You may also apply for a card at the library.

New Providence taxpayers and residents are eligible for a free library card, offering full service at the New Providence Memorial Library, as well as online borrowing privileges in other libraries belonging to Main Library Alliance and in-person reciprocal borrowing through the MUF or MURAL consortia. Individuals who live in communities that are members of MAIN, MUF or MURAL must apply for a library card in their home library.

Children under the age of 14 must have their registration cards signed by a parent or guardian.

Proof of a New Providence address is required at the time of registration.

Library cards must be renewed every three years; proof of address is required for card renewal. As a courtesy, library cards in good standing may be renewed by phone for three months. At the end of the three month period, proof of address will be required for renewal.

Your Library is the place to be!

We love seeing so many people in our thriving New Providence community using the Library. Our numbers have never been higher! Whether you come to the library to sit and read, stay and work, attend programs, discuss great books, listen to author talks, meet with special interest groups, borrow materials, or shop in our bookstore, we love seeing you here!

It is clear that our library provides so many things for different groups of people. We appreciate every child, student, teen, adult, and senior who comes through our door and becomes part of our library family. We hope you'll join us!

~ Stacey Maisch, Library Director
