Renew your card

Library cards expire after three years of inactivity, so if you haven't used your card in a while, it might be time to reactivate it. Visit your local Library or update your account information online.

There are thousands of reasons to become a member.

Your Library card gives you access to free programs, courses, printing, Wi-Fi, meeting rooms, and of course, books! It's for your individual use, and is always free to residents of Calgary and surrounding Indigenous communities.
