If you can get to a Berkeley Public Library, you can get a library card with proof of address in California. We do not have a digital only card, alas. But we think this cute design is worth an in person visit!
A cartoon drawing of a dog lifting an orange cat wearing a white sweater up so that the cat can put a book in the library book deposit. This is a library card design that library patrons can choose.
