How do I apply for a library card?

Adult cards are issued to persons 17 years of age or older.  Patrons must register and show proof of permanent address.  Acceptable forms of identification include driver's license, checks, mail received, etc.  There is a $1.00 fee to replace a lost library card.

Juvenile cards are issued to children who are attending kindergarten up to 16 years of age.  A parent or legal must show proof of a permanent address as listed above and must sign the registration card.  The child must be present to sign their card.

You may fill out a library card application at the checkout desk of the library.  You must appear in person to apply for a card and present proof of residence. Once you receive your card you may check out materials. You are responsible for items checked out on your library card.
