Renew Your Card

Any Irving Library card can be renewed if the customer has no overdue materials or fees posted to the account. Account status is visible online through the library’s catalog.

FULL-ACCESS CARDS - IRVING RESIDENTS OR NON-RESIDENTS

Cards can be renewed in person at the South Irving Library, Valley Ranch Library or West Irving Library. Identification documents from the list of acceptable forms of identification (PDF) must be provided. Non-residents must pay the annual $40 at that time. 


ONLINE RENEWAL OF FULL-ACCESS CARDS 

Irving residents may renew a card without visiting the library by emailing a scanned copy or photo of each of the following acceptable forms of identification to circulation@irvingtx.gov with the subject line “RENEW IPL CARD.” It may take up to two business days for the card renewal to be processed and approved. An email reply will be sent to confirm that the card is renewed. Non-residents will then be able to visit the online payment portal to pay the required annual fee.
