Research Guides: Library Services & Resources: ID/Library Cards

Student IDs

You'll need:

photo ID (e.g. a driver's license)
completed form (print and bring, or fill out at the desk)

You must be currently enrolled in Lone Star College classes that have been paid for (or show signs of being paid by financial aid) to be eligible for a student ID.

We start making IDs for each semester on the following dates:

Fall semester: August 1
Spring semester: December 1
Summer semester: May 1

Your first ID is free. Replacement IDs cost $10.

Online/distance students can request a library barcode using the online form.

Student ID Form
Complete this, print it, and bring with you to get a student ID card. Copies are also available at the front desk.

Employee Badges

You'll need:

photo identification (e.g. driver's license)
completed Badge Request form signed by supervisor

Note: the library only creates the badge; we do not control room access or the distribution of key cards.

Replacement badges cost $20. This is a system-level policy.

Badge Request Form
This form must be filled out correctly and signed by the employee's supervisor. Fill out the electronic version, then print the form to be signed and brought to the library.

Library Barcode

Online students can request a library barcode using the online form.

You will receive an email to your student email address (accessible through myLoneStar) with your barcode and PIN within 2 business days of your request.

Barcodes & ID Cards

If you've gotten a student ID card, you already have a library barcode number.
If you get a library barcode number, you can later have it printed on a student ID card.
- Be sure to let the desk staff know you already have a library account!
