Request applications for library cards at the Circulation Desk for both adults and children. You will need some identification with your name and address to receive a library card. Children, from ages 3 to 14, must have a parent sign the application before we issue a card.

Special memberships are available for special circumstances.

If you apply for a library card, it will now be mailed home to you. You will not be able to check out or reserve library items until you have your card. Please consider this if you need to do research and borrow books by a certain date, giving yourself ample time to receive your card well before you need to borrow items for school assignments or personal studies. In the meantime, you may view materials in the library and make use of our photocopiers and electronic services (such as our free Internet access and our electronic full-text article services) if necessary. For more information on those services, please call Reference at 341-5461.
