Welcome to the North Douglas Library District!
The North Douglas Library District offers multiple types of library cards, including full cards, partial cards, and temporary cards (card types described below). Anyone over the age of 5 may sign up for a library card. Patrons under the age of 18 must have a guardian sign for them. Any child under the age of 5 may sign up for free for Dolly Parton's Imagination Library (learn more about this incredible program here).
​
All NDLD cards are active for one year and then must be renewed (unless otherwise noted). Individuals may only have one NDLD card at a time. For all card except Student Cards, please provide proof of identity and proof of address at time of application.
