Library Cards & Borrowing

Library Cards

Everyone is welcome to use the library and apply for a library card!

  • All you need is proof of your name and address

  • Children under age 12 need a caregiver’s permission to get a library card

  • 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

  • See our Library Card Policy for more detailed information

Apply for a library card by filling out the form online, or visit the library!

  • At our self-service Holds Shelf, find your items under your last name and bring them to the desk to check them out. Your books will be held for 11 days. After 11 days books will be considered unclaimed and will be checked back into circulation. You may place a hold via the online catalog or feel free to give us a call.

  • Most items- 3 weeks

    Books on CD (5 per patron)- 3 weeks

    DVDs (10 per patron)- 1 week

    Videogames (2 per patron)- 1 week

    Reference and local history material may only be used in the library.

    See our Circulation Policy for more detailed 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.
