Ever since Emory became part of the city of Atlanta, all Emory University students, faculty and staff* are eligible to get a Fulton County Library System (FCLS) card. And we are making it easy for you to do that right here on campus by partnering with FCLS.

Get your card at the Pop-up Public Library Card Drive on Wednesday, Sept. 2, or Wednesday, Sept. 16 from 11 a.m. –1 p.m. in the Robert W. Woodruff Library. Fulton County Library staff will be handing out cards on the spot — and renewing cards for those who got them last year.

All you need to do is bring your Emory ID and fill out an application (fill it out in advance if you like). It takes about a minute. You can also apply online.

Of course, you already have access to an amazing array of resources through the Emory Libraries, but getting a Fulton County Library System card just expands those options. Here’s some of what you have access to:

• Downloadable audiobooks and e-books, movies, music, and magazines
  Free online practice tests for the MCAT, LSAT, GRE, CLEP, TOEFL, SAT, and ACT
• Language learning through Mango languages
• Business and Consumer Data
• Passes to the Atlanta Zoo, Alliance Theatre, Atlanta History Center, State Park passes, and museum passes
• Meeting rooms at 34 branches throughout the city

NEW! Looking to build new skills or advance your career? Fulton County Library System cardholders now have free access to Google Career Certificates and the Google AI Professional Certificate through Coursera.

Learn more about this exciting partnership between Georgia Public Libraries and Google and discover how your library card can help you take the next step in your professional journey.

If you can’t make it to the Pop-Up Public Library Card Drive on Sept. 2 or 16, don’t fret. You can always take your Emory ID to one of the FCLS branch libraries and get your card there.

We hope to see you for Library Card Sign Up Month!

*Note: Emory Healthcare employees who are also University employees are eligible for a card, too.
