Unveil E-Card Feature

---

Fort Bend County Libraries (FBCL) introduced a new e-Card option that provides Fort Bend residents access to electronic resources, such as downloadable e-books and audiobooks, music, streaming movies, e-magazines, online homework help and research databases – all of which can be used through www.fortbend.lib.tx.us without needing to go to the libraries’ physical locations. The e-card is for using e-media only; it does not allow for checking out physical library items such as books, CDs, DVDs, videos, mobile hot spots, Launchpads or Nooks.

Fort Bend residents, who do not currently have the standard library card, may apply online to get an e-Card. Library patrons who currently have the standard library card will not need to get the e-Card, their current card already allows them greater access to library resources. Patrons cannot have both the standard card and the e-Card.

There is no charge for the e-Card. To be eligible, individuals must reside in Fort Bend, and there are no age restrictions. After verification of residency, approved applicants should receive their e-Card number and PIN within three (3) business days.

All items checked out, and/or information/resources accessed, are the responsibility of the cardholder. Parents/guardians are responsible for their child’s use of the library’s resources. For more information, call 281-633-4734 or visit www.fortbend.lib.tx.us.
