Welcome to the Copperas Cove Public Library!

We are located in the heart of Copperas Cove next to the Central Fire Station at 501 S. Main Street. Come in to use our Internet terminals or our Wi-Fi connection, read to your children, catch up with current magazine or newspaper articles, borrow audio books on CD, or maybe even check out a book to read. You can research a pet project or a health concern or just relax and enjoy a good book in a comfortable setting.

If you are a new user of the library, please bring in some identification and proof of local residency such as a utility bill, lease or official identification with a local address in order to apply for your library card. Non-residents can obtain a card for a small annual fee.

In addition to borrowing books, CDs and DVDs, library card holders can download and borrow children’s books or current, popular e-books for teens and adults from the library’s collection. You can also search our licensed online databases of journal articles and other current information at work, home or in the library using the TexShare Databases. You will need to log in to your library account at Copperas Cove Biblionix Catalog to access the databases and then follow the “TexShare Databases” link on the left side of the page.

New books are always coming in so be sure to take a look at that section of shelves just to the left of the circulation desk when you visit the library, or review our new book list online.

Library Card Instructions

The easiest way to get your Copperas Cove Public Library card is to visit the library and complete a card application.  You will need to bring both a photo id and proof of residence.  A military id will not serve because we are not allowed to copy it. If your government-issued photo id has your current address on it, it will serve both purposes.  If not, you can bring a lease, mortgage, or piece of mail that has both your name and address.

If you would like to apply for a card without coming to the library, you can print out, complete and sign a card application.  Then you can mail it in, or you can scan it or take a picture of it and e-mail the results to library@copperscovetx.gov .  You will need to bring in both a photo id and proof of residence the next time you visit the library.

If you would prefer to sign up for your card over the phone, call 254-547-3826 and the library staff will set up your account.  You will need to sign an application and show both a photo id and proof of residence the next time you visit the library.

If you have any further questions, please call the library at (254) 547-3826.
