BC OneCard
A library card you can use anywhere in the province
 |
Heading to the cottage? Traveling in the province for pleasure? Or work? |
A library card from your home public library opens the door to public libraries wherever you travel – or stay – in British Columbia.
Don’t leave home without it.

Take your home public library card and current ID into any participating public library in BC other than your home library and ask for a BC OneCard. |
|
| Q. | WHAT if I don’t have my home library card with me? | |

|
| Q. |
WHAT if I need services and materials that a specific public library does not allow me to use? | |

If you want more than the library offers BC OneCard customers, you may
obtain full service by paying a non resident fee (at a rate set by each
library). |
|

Return them to the library you borrowed them from, or to any
participating BC OneCard library in the province – including your own
library when you get home. |
|

WHEN do I have to return the materials? | |
| A. |
The library you borrow the materials from will let you know when they are due back. |
|
