To Apply
If interested, please download and print the application (PDF) or come into the library to pick up an application. If you have any questions, please contact us.

Here’s the basic premise: if your home library participates in the Passport Program, you can apply for a card at any other library that participates in the program. So if you have a WCCLS card, you can now visit libraries in places such as Astoria, Coos Bay, and Pendleton, and apply for a card. You can check the list of participants to see which libraries currently participate in the program. Cardholders at those participating libraries can also apply for a WCCLS library card. Each participating library sets its own procedures for applying for a card, so it is a good idea to contact any participating library you are interested in before visiting.

If you have questions regarding the program or about getting a WCCLS library card, please contact us.
