Raise your hand if you love eMedia? What’s not to love? It’s easy. It’s convenient. It’s literally right at your fingertips.

As part of the Library’s on-going goal of making it easier than ever to access our materials and services, we recently launched a new eMedia library card that customers can sign-up for and receive entirely online!

What’s the difference between our eMedia card and traditional library card?

Ohio residents who complete and qualify for a Toledo Lucas County Public Library (TLCPL) card using our online form will receive an eMedia card via email within 7 days.

With your TLCPL eMedia card, you will have full access to all of our online databases, eBooks, eAudiobooks, eMagazines, music, and movies!

What if I decide I’d like to borrow a print book, DVD, or other type of physical item?

Stop into one of our 20 locations, show us your picture ID with current address and sign a borrower’s agreement! We will replace your eMedia card with a full library card and you’ll be able to check-out materials that day.

Children that want to borrow physical materials will also need to come to one of our buildings and can get a Kids Card or will need to have their parents with them to get a full feature juvenile account.

Do you offer any other types of library cards?

• Adult Card – For age 17+ • Juvenile Card – For ages 0-16 • Senior Card – For adults 60+ • Kids Card – For ages 0-16 • Ability Card – For disabled adults age 17+ • Organization Card – For Ohio organizations, businesses, & educational institutions • Childcare Card – For Child Care facilities • School Access Card – For Lucas County Schools • Military Card – For active duty and military veterans
