Non-Resident Library Cards

If you're not a resident of Detroit or Highland Park or a student at a Detroit school, you have several options.

  • If you have a valid card from a participating MILibraryCard library, you are eligible for free borrowing privileges of print items from the DPL collection. MILibraryCard privileges do not allow access to DPL’s online resources, including Kanopy, Hoopla, or Overdrive/Libby. View a list of participating MILibraryCard libraries.
  • Non-residents may also obtain a Detroit Public Library card for a $100 annual fee. Bring valid identification and a method for payment to any Detroit Public Library location.
  • Businesses located in Detroit can request a free company library card to borrow materials from the Detroit Public Library. Learn how to request a company card.
