Residents of other counties, or of Clackamas County, but not the Library District, may purchase a library card for $95 per year to use materials from all LINCC Libraries.

Free Oregon Passport cards are available to Oregon residents who have a library card from another participating library.

Library cards have both a card number and PIN.  What's my PIN?
