How do I get a library card?
Library cards are free and are available for all Waterbury residents, including newborns!
Adults must present photographic identification showing proof of Waterbury residency, such as a driver's license with current Waterbury address. If your photo ID doesn't include your current Waterbury address, you must bring a second document, such as a current utility bill or piece of mail which shows your address.
A library card application form must be completed, either online or in person.
Waterbury residents under the age of 18 must have their parent or legal guardian present the above identification to be issued a card. Teenagers under the age of 18 who do not have a parent or legal guardian may present their own identification to be issued a card.

You can submit an online application through our consortium, Bibliomation. You will still need to bring a photo ID with current Waterbury address in person to the library in order to pick up your new card. If you are homebound, please call us at 203-574-8225 to discuss home delivery options for getting a card.
