Can I register my child?

How long is my eCard valid?

eCards are valid for 8 months. To continue using library services, visit any ORL branch with ID to upgrade to a full-access physical card.

What if I lose my eCard number?

Unfortunately, eCard numbers can’t be replaced. Be sure to save yours in a safe place.

What can I access with my eCard?

With an eCard, you can:
– Download ebooks and e-audiobooks
