Welcome!
All residents of the Warren-Newport Public Library District (WNPL) are eligible for a library card. (Residency is determined by address within library district boundaries.) You may apply for a library card in person at the Library or online. Library cards are issued free of charge to WNPL residents and expire only upon moving out of our library district.
Apply in Person
When applying in person, bring a valid photo ID and recent proof of your current address (for example, official mail, or a bill dated within the last 90 days) to the library. Check out materials the same day!
Apply Online
When applying online, complete our online form and you will receive your digital library card number that allows access to our wonderful online learning, reading, and entertainment resources. (Only residents 18 years and older can apply for a card online.)
