Library Cards

To Sign up for your First Card

Your first library card is free.

All new patron cards will have a 60-day probationary period during which three items may be checked out at a time. 
One of those three items may be a NEW RELEASE title (Book or DVD).

You must be at least 18 years of age OR have a parent/legal guardian who already has a card, to apply for a library card.

For an Adult Card

  • You may request an application at the front desk.
  • You must sign the application at the front desk.
  • Present a state-issued photo identification with your current address. If the address is not current, please supply a second form that has name and current address on it, such as a utility bill, lease  or personal check.
  • A librarian will then sign and complete your application and give you a library card with a library key card.
  • You can start the process online.

For a Juvenile Card

  • You must be a minor between 3 and 17 years of age.
  • You may request an application at the front desk.
  • A parent or legal guardian must be present with you.  They must have a library card as well.  The librarian will add the juvenile to the family “Group” in the computer system.
  • You and your parent or legal guardian will need to sign the application at the front desk.

Cardholder Responsibility

  • Patrons signing the card application agree to be responsible for all materials borrowed.
  • Library cards are renewed every other year at no cost.
  • The library recommends not loaning your personal library card to anyone.
  • All materials checked out on your card are your responsibility.
  • Patrons must have their library card with them to check out items.

Lending Policy

Patrons must have their library card with them to check out items.

All items are due back before closing on the date printed on the receipt handed to each patron at the time of check-out. If you do not return your item on that date and there is not a hold placed on that item by another patron, our system will automatically renew your item. The automatically renewal will only happen on the first due date.

All items returned in the drop-box after business hours are checked in on the next business day.

When you apply for a library card, you accept responsibility for returning borrowed materials on time and in the same condition in which you received them.

Failure to return library materials or failure to pay for lost materials will result in the loss of borrowing privileges for the cardholder.

When a child applies for the library card, the parent or legal guardian accepts responsibility for the library materials borrowed by their minor child.  Failure to return library materials or failure to pay for lost materials will result in the loss of borrowing privileges for the child and the responsible adult.

A fee for lost library material is assessed when an item is 35 days overdue.

To check out library materials, your card CANNOT have any lost items or lost item fees attached.
