How to Apply
Apply for a card at any library location or on the bookmobile. Adults will need picture identification with a current address to apply for a card.
Renewing Your Card
Library cards expire every three years on the date they were first created. Library staff will need to verify your current address, phone number and email address (if applicable) the next time you wish to check out an item or access your account online. You will not be able to place a hold on an item until your card is renewed in person at the library.
Using Your Card
You may use your card at every library location and the bookmobile. You may also check out materials from area libraries that offer reciprocal borrowing. You are responsible for all materials borrowed on your card.
