Need at Library Card?
Do you need a library card to use for curbside pickup?
If you do not have an existing library card, you can register for a digital library card that you can use to check out items for curbside pickup and access electronic resources.
A digital library card is available to any PA resident who resides in our service area (Grove City Borough, Liberty Twp., Pine Twp., Springfield Twp., or Wolf Creek Twp.) Once issued, the card will be good for 3 months. After 3 months the library card will need to be renewed in person at the library. At the time of renewal you will need to present proof of address. This digital library card is not an Access PA card and will only be eligible to use at Grove City Community Library.
Please read our borrower's guide before registering for a library card.
If your current library card has expired, please contact the library.

Feature: Educated: A Memoir by Tara Westover
“Born to survivalists in the mountains of Idaho, Tara Westover was seventeen the first time she set foot in a classroom. Her family was so isolated from mainstream society that there was no one to ensure the children received an education, and no one to intervene when one of Tara’s older brothers became violent. When another brother got himself into college, Tara decided to try a new kind of life. Her quest for knowledge transformed her, taking her over oceans and across continents, to Harvard and to Cambridge University. Only then would she wonder if she’d traveled too far, if there was still a way home”– Amazon.com. We will be meeting via Zoom (video conferencing). If you have read the book and would like to participate, please contact the library to receive a Zoom invitation.
