KU Library Borrower Card (for Other Library Users)


The KU Library Borrower Card is sold to qualified individuals based on a determination of their eligibility as a Kansas resident, as student, faculty, or staff at a Kansas institution of higher learning, or as a participant in a program that includes library privileges.

The last 8 digits of the 16-digit number on the front of the KU Library Borrower Card are used as your library barcode number.  The number starts with 6017 4303.  Your barcode is the last 8 digits of the number.  Enter the 8 digits with any leading zeros, but without dashes or spaces.  For example, with a number of 6017 4303 0000 1234, you would use 00001234 as your library barcode, also called the patron barcode.
