Adults (ages 17 and older) living in Sampson County or counties adjacent to us (Bladen, Cumberland, Duplin, Harnett, Johnston, Pender, and Wayne) simply need to bring a photo ID issued by a US governmental agency (driver's license, state ID, student ID) or a passport issued by any country.
Juveniles (ages 5 through 16) living in Sampson County and adjacent counties must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian to be issued a library card. Children's cards are issued and linked to a parent or legal guardian who already has a library card with no outstanding account balances or long overdues. If the adult does not have a card, SCPL will issue him/her one before proceeding with the child's.
All other patrons may use the resources in our facilities for free, and we can issue visitor passes to use computers for those not eligible for a library card at the price of $1 per hour.
