Use your library card to:

• Search off campus for articles and other online resources in library databases
• Request books, videos, and more in the library catalog
• Apply for a TexShare Card to get materials directly from other Texas libraries

Online Self-Registration
Use the online self-registration form to sign up for a temporary library card number. NOTE: Click the "New User" button on the "My Account" page to begin the self-registration process for a library card.

Application Form to Print
Community members can print an application form for a Harris County Public Library Card, sign it, and bring it to the library to receive a library card within minutes.

NOTE:

• If you have another Lone Star College System ID/library card already, you will still need to get a Cy-Fair ID/library card if you are currently taking classes and/or employed at the Barker Cypress (BC) or Fairbanks (FB) campuses. Your ID can be used at the campus fitness center, computer open lab in the TECH building, as a photocopy/computer-printing card, for tutoring, and as your library card.
• Please keep your Lone Star College–CyFair ID card as long as you are a student at the college. Each semester, as you register, you will receive a sticker to apply to your ID showing that you are enrolled for that semester.
  
  Photo ID/Library Card Process:
1. Go to the business office /payment station (in the registration area of the Learning Commons at BC or main hallway at FB) to request an ID Card Application Form. You will need your driver’s license or other government-issued photo identification.
2. Within 2 days of getting it from the business office, take the completed ID Card Application Form to the camera station (near the Library door closest to the TECH building at BC or the business office ID station at FB). At BC, you will be asked to complete a library card application form as well. Staff will take your picture and make your ID at that time.
3. The Lone Star College–CyFair ID is free! However, if you lose your ID card, you will need to repeat this process and pay a $10 reprint fee.

LSC-Online students can request a library card online to place hold requests and access articles and other online resources in library databases.
