Q. I don't live in Fairfax County, can I get a card?

Fairfax County Public Library has reciprocal arrangements with many nearby jurisdictions. A person is also eligible for a card if they work, attend school or own property in Fairfax County or the City of Fairfax.

Apply online for a temporary virtual library card. Complete the application process by visiting any Fairfax County Public LIbrary branch with a valid ID and proof of mailing address. Until then, your virtual temporary library card can be used to access many of the library's online resources.

A person who does not meet the eligibility requirements for a library card may apply for a non-resident library card, which costs $27.00 per year and gives access to our library's online resources, including access to eBooks and eAudiobooks.
