Want to access our online resources but don’t have a Seattle Public Library card yet? No problem: you can now sign up to get access to our online resources without needing to visit a Library branch. During our temporary closure due to COVID-19, we can issue you a new card if you are 13 or older, live in Seattle, and have a mobile phone. If we are able to verify your eligibility, you will get instant access to e-books and e-audiobooks through OverDrive, and access to the rest of our online resources within a few days.
