Many libraries offer programs specifically for library cardholders; however, many provide programs for the general public (even if they do require registration). Most libraries are very clear about which programs for children, teens & adults require you to be a member of that library (or of the library system - i.e. county library systems); if in doubt, call the library before signing up or see how you can obtain a card.
You should also consider being a "Friend" of your local library or one you frequent. Membership is typically a nominal fee but it helps support the libraries and their programs.
