Patron Library Card Policy
Library cards for patrons over 18 years of age may be obtained by
filling out a user agreement in person at the library. Two proofs of
current residence are needed including a picture ID
(Driver's License preferred). Student cards can be issued to
children who are school age. A parent or guardian must be
present to sign for anyone under 18 years of age. Parents must
provide their driver's license picture and proof of current residence
and a picture of the child. If the parent does not have a current
picture, one will be taken for identification purposes. Children
under kindergarten age may use their parent’s card to check out
books. Children under the age of 14 must be accompanied by
a parent or legal guardian at all times while in the library.
