Already have a card?
Your library card allows you to check out books and other physical materials from Fayetteville Public Library. Most library items check out for two weeks and can be renewed up to two times as long as there is not a hold on them.
Your library card allows you access to the library’s digital collections including eBooks, magazines, audiobooks, music, and video streaming. You can find the library’s digital collections on our eBooks page.
It also gives you access to our public computers and study room reservations.
When prompted to enter your library card, input your full barcode number without spaces. Your pin number, which you will use on our self-checks and research databases, has defaulted to the last four digits of your phone number. When logging into the online catalog to manage your account (ex. holds, renewals and fees), you will be asked to create a unique password.
Late fees for all items except equipment are 25 cents per day up to a maximum of $8 per item.
You will be billed full replacement cost for items damaged or not returned. Equipment late fees range from $5 to $50 a day, depending on the item.
