Child Online Library Card Application Terms of Use
Please read the following information carefully to better understand what you are agreeing to when you apply for a New Haven Free Public Library card account for your child:
Parent/Guardian Email Address
Upon successful registration, we will use the email address you have entered to send the library card number and PIN (personal identification number) for the account.
This information may then be used to access:
Online learning tools for test preparation, research, language learning, and more!
This email address will also be utilized to share interesting and timely eNewsletters (Happenings) and announcements from the Library and Foundation. You may unsubscribe from these communications at any time.
You can change your PIN through your NHFPL Library Account Login page or by visiting your nearest library branch with a valid photo ID.
Verification of Parent/Guardian Identity
For your identity protection, we are required to verify your personal identity as the Parent/Guardian to open a library account for your child.
If you and your family are new to our library and you have not applied for your own account, please do that first here:
This form does not transmit information about your child and does not store your data or sell it to a third party. For more info, please see our Patron Privacy policy below.
You also agree that your child will abide by the policies of the New Haven Free Public Library, which can be found by clicking here: NHFPL Board Approved Policies.
