Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How Do I Get A Card?
Adults: Proof of address is all that's required -- your license, printed checks, utility bill, or an envelope mailed to you.
Children: Cards are issued to those in second (2nd) through twelfth (12th) grade. A registered parent or legal guardian's signature is required. The adult is responsible for any fees or fines the child incurs and is also responsible for the choice of materials the child borrows. Library staff does not censor selection.
You need only one card systemwide!

Replacement cards cost 50 cents.
