Students between the ages of 11 years and 19 years are eligible for a library card at no cost when providing a Kalama School District Student ID card or a declaration of intent for homeschooled students. Student’s residence must be within the 98625 zip code. Student cards are for the student’s use only and will be limited to physical books or DVDs, up to five items at a time. Access to eBooks and audio books is not available with a student card.

Students can obtain their library card by applying at the Kalama Public Library and showing their Student ID. The Library is open 12pm-5pm, Monday-Friday and 9am-2pm on Saturday.
