If you live in a Cooperative Member City (like Oldsmar) or in the unincorporated areas of Pinellas County, you are entitled to an Oldsmar Library Card.

Temporary residents may apply for a free library card that can be used only at the Oldsmar Library. Please bring a photo id and proof of where you are staying. These cards expire after three months.

Any Pinellas resident living in a non-PPLC participating community is eligible for a White PPLC card for a $100.00 fee.

If you live outside Pinellas County, please see our Reciprocal Borrowing Policy for more information.
