LIBRARY
CARDS
To receive your free library card, come to the Main Library
or any Quincy branch library with identification showing your
name, photograph, and current street address.
You may also register online for a free library eCard. With your eCard you may place holds on library materials, use our downloadable digital audiobook service, and search for magazine and newspaper articles in some reference databases. Once you have your eCard number, please be sure to visit us to present valid identification and have your eCard upgraded to a permanent library card. A permanent library card is required to borrow library materials.
