Getting a Library Card
Cambria County Library System cards are free of charge to any resident in Cambria County. The Cambria County Library System offers two types of cards:
eCards: provide access to online resources
Physical library cards: allow users full access to our collections of books, movies, technology and more.
To apply for a physical card, users must complete an application at a member library and show a current government issued ID that includes the user’s current name, photograph, and address. Parents or legal guardians can also apply for a child to receive a physical card.
