Georgetown library cards depend on residency, with additional eligibility options

A Georgetown mailing address alone does not determine the cost of a public-library card. The library’s policy ties free resident cards to living inside city limits or paying city property taxes.

Applicants need photo identification and proof of current residence. The library provides a city-limits lookup and offers assistance at 512-930-3551 for people unsure where their address falls.

For nonresidents, the listed annual household fee is $100, or $80 for people age 65 and older. A three-month, nonrenewable introductory card is listed at $30.

Additional free-card eligibility includes active military members and disabled discharged veterans with military identification, nonresident children enrolled in Georgetown ISD at a parent or guardian’s request, and GISD staff.

Card categories have different digital-resource privileges. Before applying, review the library’s access table as well as the fee information so the chosen card matches the materials and services you plan to use.
