Carnegie Reading Room Card
The Carnegie Reading Room card is available free for users who do not have the ID required for a Vancouver Public Library card.
The Carnegie Reading Room card is only valid in the Carnegie Reading Room. It is not valid for use in any other library.
You can borrow a maximum of four items for the first time. After that, you can borrow up to twenty (20) items at one time. You can borrow up to 2 DVDs and 2 CDs at one time.
You can return borrowed items to another Vancouver Public Library branch or to any Interlink library.
No overdue fines are charged on material taken out on a Carnegie Reading Room card. Borrowing privileges may be restricted if you frequently return items late.
Apply for your card in person at the Carnegie Branch. Bring one piece of ID showing your name, eg Social Insurance card, BCID, rent receipt, Carnegie Centre card. Identification with an address on it is not required.
The Carnegie Reading Room card cannot be used to place holds on Vancouver Public Library materials from other branches. The Carnegie Reading Room card does not give you access to Vancouver Public Library databases, computer booking software, or the wireless Internet network.
