Library Cards

What Do I Bring?

To receive or renew a Brigham City Library card, please visit the library at least 30 minutes before closing time with the following:

  • Photo ID
  • Proof of address (addressed to card signer & dated within last 30 days)
  • Adult/Guardian signer (if under 18)
  • Additional documents (if necessary to show membership category)
  • Payment (if required by membership category)

Proof of address can include mail, digital statements, bills, etc. Applications for children under 18 require a legal parent/guardian to provide the photo ID and proof of address. If you are homebound and cannot visit in person, please contact the library. We do not offer digital applications at this time. 

Membership Categories

The Library is primarily funded by Brigham City property taxes. Individuals living or renting in Brigham City—or otherwise paying Brigham City property taxes—are eligible for library cards at no additional cost. The Library's Board of Trustees have approved several other no-fee, non-resident membership categories, listed below.

Membership Categories

  • Brigham City residents
  • Brigham City property renters (living elsewhere)*
  • Brigham City property owners (living elsewhere)*
  • Brigham City Corporation employees*
  • Students attending a Brigham City school in the Box Elder County School District*
  • Employees working in a Brigham City school in the Box Elder County School District*
  • Weber County residents

All others may receive a library card by paying a non-resident fee.

* Requires some form of additional documentation showing category eligibility (e.g. Brigham property tax statement; City employee badge; proof of BESD enrollment; etc.)

Non-Resident Fees

Individuals who do not fall into any of the membership categories listed above may purchase library membership. This non-resident membership payment covers all individuals in a household (everyone at that address may receive a library card if they choose). Year-length memberships are the best value and are cheaper than many subscription and streaming services.

  • $60 / 1 year
  • $35 / 6 months
  • $20 / 3 months

Library services are also available to county residents through the Box Elder County Bookmobile.

Lost Cards

If your library card or keychain is lost or stolen, please contact the library. Staff can put a note on your account to prevent others from using your physical card without your permission.

If your card is...

  • Lost but not expired → Bring photo ID and a $2 replacement fee.**
  • Lost and expired → Bring any documents required to renew your card and a $2 replacement fee.**

**Note: If your current library barcode begins with a "P" you are eligible for a card upgrade without paying the replacement fee.

What's my password/PIN?
The 4-digit PIN written inside your Welcome brochure.

1. Visit the catalog (link below)
2. Select "My Account" at the top of the page (3-lined menu if using a mobile device).
3. Select "Forgot my PIN"

A reset link will be sent to whatever email address is on file with the library. You can also visit the library with a photo ID to have the staff reset your PIN. Staff do not disclose or reset PINs by phone or email.
