Pirate Cards are created upon request at the Infodesk. They will confirm your identity, take your photo, and create your Pirate Card on the spot.

A Pirate Card can be used:

• As your library card
• To pay Library fees
• To purchase food at The Commons or The Cove
• To open doors after-hours
• As a form of identification
• The card will work every year.

You can check your Pirate Bucks balance:

• online
• in the business office
• at the fill station in the periodicals section of the library
• at the fill station in McCombs near the Cove entrance

If you have a lost or broken Pirate Card, it can be replaced at the Infodesk. Lost or broken cards incur a $20 replacement fee. Pirate Cards that don’t function due to normal wear-and-tear can be replaced at no cost.  Cards will work for all four years unless damaged. Card replacement is unavailable after 9pm Sunday - Thursday and all day Saturday.
