Your Library Card
Your Thousand Oaks Library card is an important debit card; please treat it accordingly. You are responsible for all materials checked out on your card and on the card of your minor child. Your card is not transferable; only you will be allowed to use it.

To apply for a free library card you must have valid identification showing proof of residency. Examples of acceptable proof are:

• Valid California Driver's license, California identification card, or other Picture ID with current address (hand-written address on the back is not acceptable)
• Current Vehicle Registration
• Current Temporary Driver's License
• Current rent receipt
• Recent (60 days) utility bill
• Current property tax bill
• Current (60 days) imprinted statement, such as Mastercard or Visa

Note: A Post Office Box is not acceptable.

Beginning June 10, 2009, all California residents are eligible to apply for a free Thousand Oaks Library card upon proof of residence address. 

If you lose your card, notify the library immediately. When you report your card lost you will be issued a receipt to acknowledge the loss. A $5.00 replacement fee will be charged for lost library cards.

You may be asked at any time to present identification verifying the information on your library card. This will assist the staff in keeping your patron record current.
