How To Apply For A Library Card
​Residents of Ridgway Township, Ridgway Borough, Spring Creek Township, and Horton Township are eligible for a free library card through the Ridgway Public Library.  

Residents in nearby areas without a "home library" (Fox Township, Jay Township, Benezette Township, etc.) can receive a year-long library membership for $10/person or $15/family.

Bring your PA driver's license or your most recent utility bill to the library to confirm your address and identity.  
​
Our library staff will create a library account for you once we are able to verify your identity and address.  We can also help you get started with downloading ebooks through OverDrive. Ask us if you'd like a tour, or how to locate an item.
