Georgia Public Library e-Card

September 15, 2020 | Author: dhenning
The Georgia Public Library Service is launching an e-card for all PINES public libraries.

The e-card provides immediate access to all digital resources offered at your local public library, such as eRead Kids, Mango Languages, Learning Express, and much more. 

As an added incentive, you can also receive information about how to register to vote using the e-card application.

Anyone in Georgia can register for a PINES e-card regardless of whether their local library is a part of the PINES network.

To apply, visit georgialibraries.org/register. 

Those who want to upgrade their PINES e-card to a full library PINES card to check out books and other materials can bring their e-card account number and photo ID to any PINES library.

If you have any questions, please call your local library for assistance.
