Get a Library Card

The George Hail Free Library is a member of the Ocean State Library Consortium (OSL), comprised of over 50 public libraries throughout Rhode Island. Materials are made available through a shared online catalog. 

Residents of Rhode Island can apply for a library card in person or online following the link below.

Non-residents who work or pay taxes in Rhode Island may obtain an OSL library card at no charge with proof of current employer or property taxes paid.  However, this limits the cardholder to only the materials owned by the George Hail Library. All other non-residents may obtain a statewide OSL library card for an annual fee of $216. You must apply for these type of cards in person.
