Library Cards & Borrowing
LIBRARY CARDS
During our COVID-19 closing, you can apply for a library card by filling out this form or emailing catalog@trumansburglibrary.org.
Everyone is welcome to use the library. A library card will allow you to use online resources and borrow materials. Babies to seniors and all ages in between are eligible for a library card. An ID and proof of mailing address are required to sign up. Children under age 12 need a parent/guardian’s permission to get their library cards. Upon registering for a card a patron may check out 2 items that day, and the library card will be mailed to the given address. Recognizing that a wide variety of family structures exist, there are circumstances where children (under age 18) may obtain multiple library cards. Please contact the library director for more information.

All items can be renewed once, and will renew automatically if no hold restrictions apply. We do not charge overdue fines for items checked out at our location. (Overdue fines are $1/day for all out-of-system interlibrary loan materials- yellow band books.) The support of our association membership makes it possible for us to remain a ‘fine-free’ library. Replacement charges for lost or damaged materials still apply.
