Getting a Library Card

Eligibility for a Library Card

Library cards are free to all people who live or own property in the Resort Municipality of Whistler. Photo ID and proof of current Whistler mailing address is required to register.

Using Your Library Card

As a library card holder you are responsible for ensuring that your mailing address, telephone number and email address are kept up-to-date with us. 

To prevent unauthorized use of your library card please report its loss immediately. Remember that you are responsible for all material borrowed on your card. The charge for replacing a lost card is $2.00.

BC OneCard

A library card from your home public library opens the door to public libraries wherever you travel – or stay – in British Columbia.

Likewise, if you are visiting Whistler from another part of the province you can borrow materials from our collection by obtaining a BC OneCard from our library with your home public library card and photo ID with your current address.
