A library card is free to any permanent resident of Brazos County. To obtain a card, a person
must show a photo ID, such as a driver's license and proof of current address.
Children applying for library cards must be accompanied by a parent or guardian with acceptable
identification. Children must be able to write their complete name.
The initial card for Brazos County residents is free of charge. A $3.00 fee is charged to
replace a lost card.
Only one library card is required for use in the system. It is valid at the Bryan Library,
Larry J. Ringer Library, and Carnegie Center of Brazos Valley History.
Library cards are issued to out-of-county residents for a fee of $24.00 a year. Residents of the
following counties are eligible for an out-of-county library card: Burleson, Grimes, Leon,
Madison, Milam, Robertson, and Washington. To obtain an out-of county card, a person must show
a photo ID, such as a driver's license and proof of current address. One card will be issued per
family.
Patrons who do not qualify for a regular library card, but wish to use the library computers can
obtain a free non-borrower card, renewable every 6 months. Patrons must be able to show a photo
ID to obtain the card.
