# Get a library card

Municipal service · Home and neighbourhood

Compiled by Mahmoud Halat, updated 13 October 2026. Not a government website. The official page always has the final word.

## Short answer

Public libraries are free. A card gives you books, e-books, internet, programs and often free passes.

Handled by your municipality: your city, town or regional government.
