Your Library Card Just Got Bigger!

Do you have a summer home?  Visit relatives or work in another county?  

Now you are able to obtain a library card at almost every Oregon library. Your library card is your passport to libraries across Oregon, a program sponsored by the Oregon Library Association.  

Here's how the Oregon Library Passport Program works

If you have a full service Newberg/CCRLS* library card and would like to use another library in Oregon:

1. Check if the library you are interested in visiting is a participating library.

2. Take your Newberg/CCRLS full service* library card to that library and whatever identification the library requires to obtain a card at their library. This is usually photo ID with proof of address.

3. Use that library under their procedures.  

4. REMEMBER, you must return checked out material to the library from which you borrowed.  Due to costs, the Newberg Public Library will not mail materials back for you and you will likely accrue late fees.

*A full service card is issued to those who live within the boundaries of the City of Newberg or those who have purchased a non-resident library card.  

 

If you are from another area of Oregon and would like to use the Newberg Public Library: 

  1. Make sure your home library is participating in the Oregon Library Passport Program.
  2. Bring your library card from your home library along with photo ID and proof of address to the Newberg Public Library. 
  3. We'll issue you a Newberg/CCRLS Oregon Library Passport Program library card.
  4. This card is a limited use card and allows check out of 10 items at a time and 3 items on hold at a time. 
  5. The card does not allow access to online databases and services that require a library card to sign in. Databases are governed by legally binding licenses based on residency. Interlibrary loan is also not available. These services may be available from your home library.
