Services for Long Beach Area Schools & Libraries

While we strive to create accounts on demand, a supervisor must be available to create the account and technological issues may result in a delay.  There may be times when we cannot issue new library accounts. When applying for a library card, be sure to ask for a Circulation Supervisor at the front desk.  Thank you for your patience in this matter.

In order to apply for an account, you must provide your Social Security number.
