Having a WCCLS library card also enables you to get a free library card at any Oregon library participating in the Oregon Library Passport Program. To get a card at a participating Oregon Passport library, show your WCCLS library card and a form of identification. Libraries typically require a photo ID with proof of address. Checkout limits and loan periods vary by library.
