Please note that by signing for a library card, you agree to abide by the policies set forth in the Covington County Library System Policy Manual. That manual may be downloaded here: CCLS Policy Manual_2025.
Service Area and Residency
CCLS serves all residents of Covington County. Residency is determined by physical address of residence and tax record. A patron from outside of Covington County seeking to get a library card with CCLS may get an out-of-county card for a recurring annual fee. Recognizing that many of our close neighbors work, shop and otherwise contribute to our community, residents of the following zip codes (39111, 39116, 39168, 39480, 39459, 39402, 39482, 39421, 39474, and 39140) may obtain a card without paying said fee. Additionally, any teacher working in a Covington County school may obtain a card regardless of residence.
Library Card Registration
In order to checkout materials and use some library services, individuals must apply for a library card with CCLS. The documents required at the time of library card registration are:
- A government-issued ID
- Social Security Card, Driver’s License or state issued ID, Military ID
- Proof of Residence
- Current utility statement, checkbook or mail with name/address, tax receipt, etc.

An individual must be at least 5 years old in order to apply for a library card. Children aged 5-17 must have a parent or legal guardian present the above required documentation.
If a patron has lost a card a replacement may be obtained for a fee.
