Instant Digital Library Card
Want access to e-books but don’t have a Library card? No problem: You can now sign up instantly to receive access to e-books and e-audiobooks through OverDrive.
To sign up for this service, you have to be 13 years of age or older, live in Seattle, and have access to a mobile phone number in order to verify your account.
If you have previously completed our online Library card application but haven’t yet received it due to our systemwide closure, you can also sign up for OverDrive’s instant access to e-book titles.
Please note: At this time, this instant Digital Library card provides access to our OverDrive e-collections. We are currently exploring options for offering more of our digital resources to digital Library cardholders, and we will update this page as those resources become available.
