Start by choosing either an all-access card or an online library eCard. There may be some restrictions based upon where you live. If you have a physical KCLS library card, you have an all-access account.
Not sure which is the right card for you? See below.
All-Access Card
Available to King County residents and property owners, and Seattle residents, but not Yarrow Point or Hunts Point. Residents of reciprocal library communities may also apply.
Apply online for an all-access card, finish by activating your card in person at any KCLS library. You will need proof of address and photo ID that shows your date of birth. See our downloadable application for complete details.
With your all-access card you can:
• Check out print books, magazines, CDs, and DVDs from the library.
