1. I thought libraries were public places. Why does it cost money?

It does not cost to visit the three Denton library branches, use the public computers or attend any of our programs. The public is welcome to visit the library and make use of materials; however, a library card (resident or nonresident) is necessary to check out materials.

2. I own property in Denton, but reside in a different city, am I eligible for a free library card?

 Yes, you are eligible for a free library card if you live in or own property in the City of Denton.

3. I am living in Denton temporarily, am I eligible for a free library card?

Patrons with proof of Denton residency will be issued free library cards. The Denton Public Library also offers library cards for those living in shelters or temporary housing facilities.

4. I recently moved. Will my resident or non-resident status change?

Residents moving out of Denton will need to pay the fee prior to the next checkout. Residents moving to Denton will be considered residents when their annual nonresident card renews, however, the fee paid prior to moving is non-refundable. In other words, there will not be a pro-rated refund of any annual fee upon moving mid-year to Denton.
