Who Can Get a Library Card?

Anyone who lives in Laramie County is eligible for a free Laramie County Library System library card. Your card works at all LCLS locations and most libraries throughout Wyoming.

Bring one photo ID and proof of your current Laramie County address.

If your ID already shows your current address, or if you have a military ID, that’s all you need.

If not, you can provide a recent document such as a utility bill, lease agreement, pay stub, or similar proof of address.

Questions? Call 307.634.3561.

Lost Your Card?

If your library card is lost or stolen, contact your local library to cancel it.

Replacement cards are free but, require photo ID. Parents or legal guardians must be present to replace a minor’s library card.
