Memberships

Temporary Memberships

Temporary Memberships are for patrons who plan to be in the area for 2 – 6 months and are not eligible for a BC One Card (generally they are not residents of B.C.).

Apply for a card at any CRDL branch. You will need valid picture I.D. and some proof of your current address -- either ID or cancelled mail, cheques, etc – and your permanent address if it is different from the current one.

Temporary members are limited to 2 items checked out at any one time. A refundable deposit of $25.00 (cash only) is required to register.

All items must be returned and the card surrendered before obtaining your refund.

Non-Residents

Patrons who reside outside the CRD boundaries may acquire a Library Membership at a cost of $25.00 annually.

Apply for a card at any CRDL branch. You will need valid picture I.D. and some proof of your current address -- either ID or cancelled mail, cheques, etc – and your permanent address if it is different from the current one.

The same card may be used in all CRDL libraries. Non-Resident members have the same rights and responsibilities as all other Library members.

BC One Card

A library card from your home public library opens the door to public libraries wherever you travel – or stay – in British Columbia.

Don’t leave home without it.

Q.		WHO is entitled to BC OneCard service?
A.		Any BC resident who can show a valid public library card.
Q.		HOW do I get BC OneCard?
A.		Take your home public library card and current ID into any participating public library in BC other than your home library and ask for a BC OneCard decal.
Q.		WHAT if I don’t have my home library card with me?
A.		You need it to sign up for a BC OneCard, so don’t leave home without it.
Q.		WHERE can I use it?
A.		Use your BC OneCard at any public library in the province. At each library you will also need to provide current ID with proof of your contact information.
Q.		WHAT does the BC OneCard service include?
A.		It allows you to check out materials and use services determined by each individual public library. Check with each library for a list of what it provides. Check your library's website to see what you can use at your library.
Q.		WHAT if I need services and materials that a specific public library does not allow me to use?
A.		If you want more than the library offers BC OneCard customers, you may obtain full service by paying a non resident fee (at a rate set by each library).
Q.		WHERE do I return materials that I’ve borrowed?
A.		Return them to the library you borrowed them from, or to any participating BC OneCard library in the province – including your own library when you get home.
Q.		WHEN do I have to return the materials?
A.		The library you borrow the materials from will let you know when they are due back.
Q.		WHERE do I pay fines owing on books I borrow?
A.		Fines and charges on materials are payable to the library you borrowed them from. Libraries are unable to take payment or charges that accumulate on items borrowed from other libraries.

If you want more than the library offers BC OneCard patrons, you may obtain a Non-Resident Cariboo Regional District Library Card for $25.00. For more information on the BC OneCard initiative throughout the province visit www.bclibrary.ca
