- Check out print, audio, and video materials
- Access premium online articles and information
- Use a computer or reserve a room at our libraries
- Renew in person, online, or by phone
- Place a hold on items and choose which location to pick them up
You can apply for a card at any HCPL location. If you think you might already have an HCPL library card, please check with us first by calling any location or by using Ask A Librarian, available by clicking the green tab on the right hand side of any page on our website.
Henrico County, Chesterfield County, and City of Richmond residents are eligible for library cards at HCPL, and a photo ID and proof of address is required to obtain most types of library cards. Learn more about library card registration and eligibility requirements.
