Apply For Your Library Card
The PCPL offers library cards to all citizens. Library cards are free to Pike County residents, institutions, and businesses, and to Pennsylvania residents with a library card from another county that participates in the Access PA system. Library cards for non-residents are available for a fee. You may request a library card online or in person. A library card is required for patrons to check out materials or use the library’s public computers. Replacement cards are available for a $2.00 fee.
Lost or Stolen Card?
The PCPL is not responsible for any unauthorized use of a Pike County Public Library Card. To minimize liability, cardholders must inform the Library immediately if their Library Card becomes lost or stolen. Reporting the card lost or stolen can be done in person at either PCPL location or by calling the administration office at 570-296-8211. Cardholders are held responsible for any items checked out and any fines incurred by the use of their Library Card prior to the card being reported lost or stolen.
For county residents, including businesses and institutions, library cards are good for three (3) years, and may be renewed. Residents must show proof of county residency. Acceptable proofs include the following:
- Driver’s License
- Pike County Tax Bill
- Voter’s Registration Card
- Utility Bill with personal address, postmarked within the last 30 days.
Business owners or institution heads must provide a statement on letterhead that the business assumes responsibility for all library materials borrowed. For additional library card policies, please see our handbook.
