Your Library Card
Any Burlington resident, age 5 or older, may obtain a library card. Just visit the library to fill out a short application form. Proof of residency is requested at time of application. Library cards are good for three years from the date of issue and can be used at any public library in the state of Connecticut. If your card has expired, don't throw it away! We will update it for you. Replacement cards are $2.00.
