Library Card Membership Application
Please note: This is for new memberships. Membership renewals do not require a new application.
Thank you for your interest in obtaining a library card from the Prosper Community Library.
We offer two categories of membership to obtain library cards; free and paid membership qualifications are solely based on the applicant's assessment of the CPR/C48 (Prosper Town) tax.
- Applicants may determine the membership category for which they qualify here as well as the required documentation needed to verify residency.
- Applicants are encouraged to verify whether their address is subject to the CPR/C48 (Prosper Town) tax by looking up their address in their county of residence: COLLIN COUNTY | DENTON COUNTY.
Paid Memberships
- Not all Prosper mailing addresses qualify for a free membership. Applicants who do not pay the CPR/C48 (Prosper Town) tax or Town of Prosper utility bill must pay $50 per library card holder annually.
- Prosper ISD zoning has no bearing on membership category.
- Employment by Prosper ISD has no bearing on membership category.
- In-person membership renewal and payment are required annually.
Free Memberships
- Permanent as well as Limited Memberships are available to those who can document that they live in a household that receives/pays a Town of Prosper utility bill and the CPR/C48 (Prosper Town) tax.
- In-person renewal is required bi-annually (every 2 years).
