Streaming and Downloadable Movies, TV Shows, Comics, Audiobooks, and eBooks
The library offers access to thousands of books and videos through Library2Go, Kanopy, Hoopla, TumbleBooks, and more.

A library card in good standing is required for access to most of the library’s online resources. If you need a library card, apply for a digital access-only card online or come in to apply for a regular library card. Library cards are free for Fort Smith residents.
Digital Access-Only Library Cards

Online Library Card Renewal
Library cards expire automatically every two years (annually for non-resident cards). This gives the library staff a chance to update your address, phone number, or email address if needed. Cards can be renewed in person or online here. A card in good standing is required to check out materials from the library and to access most streaming and downloadable resources.
