Forget rewards points and cashback percentages. The most powerful card in your wallet costs nothing and gives you access to more than most people realize. What is that card? Your library card!
Your Washington County Public Library card is your key to thousands of physical books, DVDs, audiobooks, Tonie Figures, and magazines — all free to borrow. But it doesn’t stop there. Your card also unlocks digital resources like Libby, where you can borrow eBooks and audiobooks right from your phone or tablet. No late fees, no shipping, no cost.
With your library card you can access Ancestry for genealogy research, stream and download digital content, use our public computers and free WiFi, reserve our meeting spaces, and participate in programs and events throughout the year — many of them completely free.
Getting a card is simple. Stop by the library at 333 West Main Street in Springfield with a valid photo ID and proof of your Washington County address. It takes about five minutes and it’s completely free.
If you already have a card but haven’t used it in a while, now is the perfect time to dust it off. You might be surprised by everything that’s waiting for you.
