Library Card

Residents of Columbus Junction, Columbus City, Cotter, Conesville, and Fredonia can apply for a library card, as well as surrounding Louisa and Muscatine County residents. CJPL participates in the open access program, and anyone interested is able to apply for a library card. However, for anyone not residing within these physical parameters, the open access program only allows for use of the physical collection, not digital resources, like ebooks or databases. Patrons should use their home library to access online resources.

Apply for a library card in person/at the library or online below. Please allow at least 2 business days for processing.
