What is an eCard?
The eCard is an electronically produced and distributed library card. With an eCard you can access our Digital Library , Research & Homework tools, and take free Online Computer classes.

Who needs an eCard?

I don't live in the city of Poplar Bluff, may I still apply for an eCard?

How do I get an eCard?

What if I lose my eCard, forget my number, etc.?

If your eCard has been lost or stolen, report it to the library by phone or email at library@poplarbluff.org as soon as possible. After reporting the loss to the library, you will be provided a new eCard number.

What is the difference between a full-access library card and an eCard?
An eCard gives you access to our online digital collections only.

A full access library card is the physical card offered to all patrons who visit the library with identification and proof of address. This card can be used to access both our digital and physical collections and allows you to check out printed books, periodicals, technology items, CDs and DVDs. In addition, a full-access library card allows you to reserve and use public computers at library locations.
