e-Card Registration

e-Card Registration

Only Fort Bend County residents, who do not currently have the full-service library card, may apply online to get an e-Card. If using the online registration form link below, approved applicants should receive their e-Card number and PIN within three (3) business days.

Fort Bend County Libraries’ e-Cards are for users who are ONLY interested in the electronic resources of the library. (Full access to all library materials requires a standard, full-service library card.) With an e-Card, you may remotely borrow online e-books, music, streaming videos (e.g. movies, TV shows), access nearly all of the electronic research resources available such as online databases and tutoring help, and use library computers. The e-Card does not allow for checking out physical library items (e.g. books, CDs, DVD, etc.).

If you currently have the full-service library card, you will not need to get the e-Card because the full-service card already allows greater access to library resources including electronic resources. You may not have both the full-service card and the e-Card.

There is no charge for the e-Card. To be eligible, you must reside in Fort Bend County. There are no age restrictions. All items checked out, and/or information/resources accessed, are the responsibility of the cardholder. Parents/guardians are responsible for their child’s use of the library’s resources.
