A simple format for requesting a school library card

[School Name]
I am [Your Name], a student of Class [X]. I am very fond of reading story books and would like to borrow books from our school library regularly.
I request you to kindly issue a library card in my name so that I may borrow books as per the library rules.
Yours sincerely,
Class [X], Roll No. [XX]
A library card application is a little different from a leave letter - instead of asking for something to be excused, it is a polite request to be given access to something new. Mentioning your genuine interest in reading makes the request feel more personal.
This is often one of the first "positive" applications a student writes, since it is not about a problem but about wanting to make good use of a school facility - a nice change from the usual leave-request letters.
