During this crisis, RI residents may apply for a new library card online and receive the card number and PIN by email. 

OSL Library Card info:

https://www.oslri.org/application/
If a new card needs to be issued, you will be sent a temporary library card number and PIN by email.  A permanent library card will be assigned and mailed to you or may be picked up at the library you chose on your application after the libraries reopen.

 

ID info:

Young Adult Borrowers 

Students ages 13 to 17 may provide proof of their enrollment in a public or private school in Rhode Island (class schedule, transcript, report card, etc.) in lieu of a photo ID if they do not otherwise have one.  Proof of home address must still be provided if not stated on school enrollment documents.


Minors ages 13-17 may also have their application signed by their parent or guardian*, who may provide identification/address validation on the minor’s behalf.  Both the parent or guardian and the minor should be present to apply for a library card.
