How to Get a Library Card

You can use your Cathlamet library card to borrow books, magazines, DVDs, ebooks and online magazines and audiobooks.

Items checked out of the library have different checkout periods so some items may be due earlier than others. When you check items out, they will be stamped with the due date. Items can be renewed by phone during library hours, online in the catalog/my account, or in person.

Reciprocal Borrowing Agreements

Cathlamet Library customers can borrow books from Longview Public Library provided they are willing to pick up and return them. Borrower slips can be picked up and signed at the Cathlamet Library front desk. The library also has reciprocal agreements with the Timberland Library District and Fort Vancouver Library District - Cathlamet town residents ONLY can apply for a free library card at those locations-some checkout restrictions may apply.
