PASCO COUNTY, FL  —-  Pasco County Libraries is offering parents and guardians a new type of library card for their kids.  We encourage parents to visit the library now to carefully choose one of the cards listed below that best fits your family.  Hurry – cards need to be updated before April 30, or they will expire! 

WHAT:          Library Card Options

Children ages 0-15

  • New: Child Library Card

Juvenile collection and school-required reading materials ONLY.

                (No access to online databases/downloadable services.)

  • Full Access Child Library Card

Full access to the complete collection of library materials, including online databases and downloadable services.

WHERE:       Pasco County Libraries

                        Various locations

“Our goal is to connect customers with what is most important to them,” says Pasco County Libraries Director Sean McGarvey.  “The new library card gives parents, who prefer more direct control over their child’s library use, an option that aligns with their preferences, while still offering flexibility for those who prefer a different level of control.”

You may renew your child’s card for up to a year after the April 30 deadline.
