Visit our new library card kiosk located at the end of the first-floor circulation desk, and fill out the form at the computer. Show a staff member your ID, and you'll receive a new library card.

The ID needed . . .

  • One form of identification with your name and address (Driver's License, State ID, piece of first-class mail with current postmark, current utility bill, bank statement, or rental lease).
  • If you are under the age of 18, a parent or guardian will need to be present to sign for your card. 

Get Cards for the Family

The entire family is encouraged to sign up for a library card. We have special cards for kids who are getting their first library card. Note: The cardholder (or legal guardian) is responsible for the materials checked out on the card. Students ages 13 to 17 that live in the library's district may also get a card without their parents. Learn more here.
