Applying for a library card

You may obtain your card by applying at the circulation desk in the main room of the Library.

*At age 15 we will automatically change the privileges of a Children’s Library Card to that of an Adult Library Card. Adult Library Cards have privileges to borrow any circulating item in the Library. Parents have the option of changing their child’s Library card to an Adult Library card before the age of 15 or keeping their child’s Library card as a Children’s Library card until the age of 18.
