Florida Panthers Library Card

We’ve partnered with the Florida Panthers on a new Broward County Library card design featuring the Florida Panthers hockey team. The colorful new cards will be available at Broward County Library locations while supplies last, beginning December 15, 2023.

The new cards are free. New library customers can select this design when registering for their first Broward County Library card and existing library card holders can switch their current card for the Panthers card.
