If you are under eighteen, you must have your parent/legal guardian sign your library application and include their ID number.
Alternatively, you can also apply for an eCard Restricted to only for those living in Orange County. An eCard provides access to online databases and downloadable eMedia. It cannot be used inside the library to borrow material, place holds on material from the library, borrow from the laptop kiosk, nor is it valid for use of the public library Internet computers.
Patrons with an existing OC Public Libraries card already have this access and do not need an eCard. To learn more about how to get a library card, please visit: https://ocpl.org/cards

Minors, age 17 or younger must have parent/legal guardian sign the application and include their ID.
OCPL accepts and returns materials to the following ten public libraries in Orange County: Anaheim, Buena Park, Fullerton, Huntington Beach, Mission Viejo, Newport Beach, Orange (City) Public, Placentia, Santa Ana, and Yorba Linda. However, it will take much longer for them to be returned to their library system and you are responsible for any fines you may incur at the corresponding library system during this time.
