Please keep your student ID card for future semesters. The library staff will update the card with a renewal sticker.
Faculty and Staff
Your College Staff ID card obtained through the Library also acts as your Library card.
To obtain a Staff ID card, complete the online form below or visit the Library with confirmation of employment, or send an email to circdesk@cotr.bc.ca providing your start/end date, your employment number, and name of your department head. Staff cards are valid for three years or until your term has ended.
Please note that you must login with your COTR Outlook email address to use the online request form – you may also need to clear your cache/cookies (or use a private/ incognito window).
Community Users
To obtain a Library card you must be a resident within the College Region (Cranbrook, Creston, Fernie, Golden, Invermere and Kimberley). Visit the Library with a piece of government issued photo identification and proof of current address. There is no fee. Cards are valid for two years from date of issue and may be renewed if there are no outstanding fees. The Library offers borrowing and other services to community users.
