Out-of-state residents can pay $50 to get a BPL Card
Out-of-state residents may apply for a Brooklyn Public Library membership and enjoy access to our extensive selection of Articles & Databases and eBooks. There is an annual, non-refundable $50 fee for out-of-state cardholders.
However, if you work, attend school, or own property in New York and do not have a New York State ID, you can bring your valid out-of-state ID and proof of employment in New York, or proof of property ownership in New York to any BPL location to receive a free BPL card.
