Frequently Asked Questions
Who can get a library card?
Anyone who is a resident (permanent or temporary) of Colorado can get a card. And it’s free!
What kind of photo ID do I need to get a library card?
You can use any photo ID to get a library card as long as it has your picture and your name on it. Some of the most common one’s we see are driver’s licenses, school IDs, or recreation center passes.
How many items can I borrow with my Anythink card?
You can check out up to 250 physical items at once. A few items have their own limits:
- Up to 25 DVDs, Blu-rays, or 4K Blu-rays
- 1 Wi-Fi hotspot
You can also place up to 99 holds at a time.
For digital items:
- 10 checkouts at a time for ebooks and e-audiobooks
- 20 holds in Libby
How long can I keep my items?
It depends on what you’ve borrowed! Here’s how long you get to enjoy each:
- Books — 3 weeks
- CDs — 3 weeks
- DVDs and Blu-rays — 1 week
- Magazines/Periodicals — 1 week
- eBooks — 3 weeks
- Audiobooks — 3 weeks
- TryIts — 3 weeks
- Wi-Fi hotspots — 3 weeks
- Book Club Kits — 6 weeks
Friendly reminder: Most items renew automatically up to 3 times as long as no one else is waiting for them. You’ll get a text or email notice when something can’t be renewed, so you always know what’s due back.
How do late fees work?
Good news — Anythink doesn’t charge daily late fees. We just ask that you return items on time so everyone has a chance to enjoy them.
Here’s how it works:
- Once your item can no longer be renewed, you have 7 days to return it. If it’s not returned by then item is marked as overdue.
- After an item is 6 weeks overdue, it is marked as lost.
- If the item isn’t returned within 48 hours of being marked lost, the replacement cost of the item and, in some cases, a $10 collection fee is added to your account.
I lost my card, what do I do?
You can easily get a replacement card for free! Just stop by your local Anythink branch to report your library card missing, and we’ll set you up with a shiny new card.
If you can’t make it into the library right away to get a new card, you can also log in to your library account online and mark your card as lost. This helps protect your account until you pick up your replacement.
