Library FAQ

How do I obtain a library card?

To obtain a library card, please ask for an application at the front desk. Two forms of Idetification, to include a photo ID, verifying your name and current address must be shown at the time of application. If you are new to the area and do not have current ID, talk to the librarian. Cards are usually able to be issued at the time you apply. People younger than eighteen years of age will need a parent or legal guardian’s signature on the application before a card will be issued. There is no charge to obtain a library card.
