Library Cards
Getting a Peters Township Public Library card is fast, easy, and free! Your library card gives you access to eBooks, public computers, digital resources and databases, and the collections of 20 libraries across Washington, Greene, and Fayette counties.
If you would like to receive a Peters Township Library card, you can fill out a form at the Library Circulation Desk, or fill out our convenient online application, linked below. Your application will stay active for 30 days - you must visit the library to pick up your physical card and get a permanent card number. If you fail to visit the library within 30 days, your application will be deleted from the system.
A valid photo ID with proof of address must be provided when picking up your library card. Children through age 12 must have a parent sign their application for a library card. All residents of Pennsylvania are eligible for a library card. Library cards for out-of-state residents cost $10.00.
If you already have a card from another public library in Washington, Greene, or Fayette Counties you can start using it at the Peters Township Public Library today. The “pin” number automatically assigned to each card is the last 4 digits of the home phone number.
Borrowing Periods
The library assigns a borrowing period to each circulating item in the collection, usually two or three weeks. This period may be extended at the staff’s discretion.
Checked out items will be automatically renewed for two additional circulation periods, unless or until a hold is placed on the item by another patron. Some items are exempt from auto-renewals.
Fine-Free
Peters Township Public Library, and all WAGGIN libraries, are currently fine-free. Overdue fines are not charged on items returned after the due date. Borrowers will be charged a replacement fee for items that are lost, damaged, or never returned.
Stolen, Forgotten, or Expired Cards
Borrowers with lost or stolen library cards should report this to the circulation desk immediately to avoid possible misuse of the card. Borrowers with lost library cards may obtain a replacement by asking in person at the circulation desk. There is no fee for replacement cards. Identification showing name and current address is required.
In order to check out materials, borrowers who have forgotten their library card must present identification showing their name and current address.
All library cards expire after three years. Borrowers will receive a notice when the card is set to expire. To renew a library card, please contact the library or visit the circulation desk so we can verify your contact information.
