A Peoria Public Library System Card opens up a world of resources, information and fun! Your card not only allows you to check out books, audiobooks, music CDs and DVDs for free, it also gives you access to the library’s public computers, thousands of e-books, e-audiobooks, library subscribed databases and even Culture Passes to some of the valley’s greatest arts and sciences attractions.
Any resident of Maricopa County may obtain a free library card for the Peoria Public Library System at either the Peoria Main Library or the Sunrise Mountain Library. Parents and legal guardians may also sign their children up for their own card. Proof of residency is required by providing one of the following:

- Adults are asked to provide two forms of I.D. to attain a library card, one must be a photo I.D. and the other has to have current proof of residence. If an individual does not have two forms of I.D. an Arizona driver’s license with current address/photo will be accepted.
