Library Cards

Library Cards are FREE!!! There are two types: Adult and Juvenile (birth to 18 years-of-age). Both require a photo ID of an adult applying (parent or guardian for juveniles) and something with a current mailing address. This can be the photo ID. The application process takes place at the front desk and requires just a few minutes.
