You are eligible to receive a temporary White Plains Public Library card. While our Library is offering limited services, we will provide you with your unique account number that you can use to access our digital and streaming collections as well as checkout materials in the Library. Once our Library resumes regular services, you will have thirty days to come to the Library, present two forms of ID, and receive your new card. If you fail to do this, your temporary card will expire. Your name and current address are required the first time you register and each time you renew.
Anyone eligible for a card may use the online form provided below. Please include the apartment or suite number with the street address.
