How to Get a Library Card
The Teton County Library offers a free library card to all area full-time and seasonal residents and employees. A library card grants borrowing privileges to the holder. It may also be used at most public libraries in Wyoming. Photo identification and a local mailing address are required to apply for a card.
Please have your card on hand for all Library services as its unique barcode guarantees accurate and private access to your record in the statewide library system. A Personal Identification Number (PIN) will be assigned to your new card to provide access to research databases and your library card account via the Internet.
Visitor Cards
Visitors from out of state can purchase a visitor card for a one-time fee of $5.00. Visitors are limited to checking out four items at a time.
What is my PIN?
Your PIN (Personal Identification Number) is a unique four-digit code needed to access a number of library services, including your online library account information. The PIN you are originally assigned is "wyld", however, you can update your PIN at any time through your online account. If you cannot recall your PIN, please call (307) 733-2164 or email tetnref@tclib.org.
