Residents of the City of DuBois and Sandy Township are entitled to a free library card from our library.  Please bring proof of current address when you come to obtain your card.  Children may apply for a library card when they are five years of age. 
If you have a library card from another Pennsylvania library, ask at your home library for the blue Access PA sticker to be placed on your card.  You can bring your home library card to the DuBois Public Library and obtain a DuBois Public Library card free of charge. 
If you do not have a home PA library card or your residence is not served by a participating Access PA library, you may receive a DuBois Public Library card at a yearly cost of $35 for an individual or $40 for a family.

Items may be renewed one time and can be renewed in person, online, or by phone once as long as they are not on hold for another person.  Feature Film DVDs may not be renewed.  To renew online or access your account, click here.  Use the Your Details button at the top and enter your library card number to see items checked out, due dates, loan history, reserves, and fees.

One of the greatest ways to remember a deceased friend or loved one is by making a memorial donation to your public library. Memorial gifts to the DuBois Public Library support the purchase of new books and materials for our collection. A gift to the book collection is a lasting remembrance of your loved one and will be shared and cared for by many community members. Your gift can be personalized to reflect the interests, occupation, hobbies, or causes of your loved one or a member organization.  To download a brochure, click here.

Reservations for materials in our collection, except DVDs, can be made online, by phone or in person. Reservations are first come, first serve and time may be required to fill your reservation as there may be a waiting list especially for new and popular materials.  Reservations made online for materials currently on the shelf may not be at the desk when you arrive, and could possibly be checked out before you arrive to pick up the item; instead, reservations for items on the shelf should be made by telephone.

If you are unable to find an item in the DuBois Public Library collection, you may request that an item be borrowed from another library through Inter-Library Loan.  These books will be shipped to DuBois though borrowing time may vary.  Inter-library loan requests through DuBois Public Library can only be made by patrons living in the City of DuBois or Sandy Township.  All other patrons must request Inter-Library Loan items through their home library.
If an item you are looking for is newly published, fill out a request for purchase form and the title will be under consideration as an addition to the library collection.

Historical research services are offered to anyone looking for information that may be contained in our collection of historical materials, mainly birth, death, and marriage records.  However, the library charges a fee of $3.00 for each request.  This pays for the search and if we locate the information includes a copy which we will send to you via mail.  Requirements for these requests are the name(s) of persons, date of event (birthdate, marriage date, death date) and payment in advance for each request.  You may submit a check, cash, or money order along with the request information and your return address to the DuBois Public Library, 31 S. Brady Street, DuBois PA 15801.
