Answer

Do you live outside of Bexar County? You are eligible for a free San Antonio Public Library card if you own Bexar County property or a business and provide appropriate identification like a property tax record, an Assumed Name Certificate of Registration or a Sales Tax Permit. You may purchase a San Antonio Public Library card for $100 per year or $30 per 3-month period if you are not a Bexar County resident or own property or a business in Bexar County (currently we only accept cash or personal checks). All you need is a current photo ID.

Your card allows you access to all of San Antonio Public Library’s materials – both in person and online.

  1. You need to add that it is cash or check only. I live 60 miles away and when I showed up to buy an out of county card, they advised that they don't accept credit cards
    Pretty inconvenient !

  2. Rick, You make a very good point! I've edited the answer to that question so that it's clear what types of payment we accept. I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience we put you through, but thank you for helping us make our "answer" system more informative.
