Pacific Grove Public Library card opens the door to a world of information, entertainment, and resources. In addition to borrowing materials, your card allows you to download digital media, use electronic databases, get access to local museums, and more. Pacific Grove Public Library Cards are always free to adults, children, and even visitors who don’t have a California ID. Residents who have a disability or long-term medical condition that prevents visiting the Library may use Outreach Services. Please call (831) 648-5760 or email
referencedesk@cityofpacificgrove.org for more information. You may apply for your free library card in person with a valid ID or
online. Children may receive a card of their own just as soon as they are able to write their name. Applications in English and Spanish for children and adults are available at the Helpdesk.
