Using the Library

Library Card Eligibility

To obtain a free library card a patron must present a valid form of ID which has a current address or mail with your name and current address on it and provide the name and telephone number of one additional contact outside the patron’s home. (This contact is contacted if you move, we are trying to contact you, and we no longer have valid contact information for you.) Patrons understand the age of 18 requires a parent’s or guardian’s signature to obtain a card. The parent or guardian must provide the required information.

A replacement fee of $1.00 will be charged for lost cards.  The first time a patron uses a new library card there will be a limit of one item that may be checked out.

​
