Library Cards and Fines

 

Library Cards

Any resident of Massachusetts can apply for a library card. Cards are issued at the library's circulation desk (for adults and teens) or in the children's room (children up to age 12). To obtain a library card, you must present a photo ID and proof of residence (such as a bill, lease, or piece of mail). Parents may present identification for children.

Fall River library card holders have borrowing privileges at all SAILS member libraries. They can request items from other libraries to pick up in Fall River, or can use their card at other libraries. Any resident of Massachusetts may use Fall River Public Library's resources. For out-of-state residents, fees may apply; ask at the circulation desk.

There is no initial fee for a library card, but replacement cards (if the original is lost) are $5. Your library card comes with a regular wallet-sized card and a mini keychain card. You can also use the online SAILS catalog, Enterprise, and the reading app Libby on your phone.
