APPLY FOR A LIBRARY CARD ONLINEKids, teens, and adults can all use our online forms to jumpstart the process of getting a library card without making a trip to the library. Residents of Northampton, Florence, and Leeds may apply for a card. Online applicants will receive a temporary Forbes Library card by email that can be used to place holds, and access online resources such as e-books, e-audio and databases. A physical card will be mailed to you. You can use your card number as soon as you receive the email, but note that this process is not automated—please allow a few days for staff to process your request.

Curbside pickup is by appointment, and contactless! Materials must be requested in advance. After logging into your library account, place holds on the items you want. Once you receive an email saying they're ready, you can then make a pickup appointment using our reservation system. We'll bag your items and leave them for you on a table outside the library during your appointment window!
