How Do I Get a Library Card?

1. Show your government-issued ID

If you have questions about whether your ID is acceptable, please contact us.

2. Show proof of your current address (if not listed on ID)
  • Voter registration  
  • Car registration  
  • Utility bill, phone bill, rent, or mortgage receipt  
  • Mail addressed to patron at current address  
  • Printed checks with current address  
  • Any other legitimate legal document showing name and address   
3. Bring your parent or guardian with you (for minors under age 18 only)
  • For minors (under age 18), the parent or guardian must complete and sign an application form on behalf of the minor. The parent/guardian AND the minor must be present when the card is issued.   
  • If parent/legal guardian has a valid CPL card, this can be used as verification of address and parent/legal guardian does not need to show additional ID. 
  • If parent/legal guardian does not have a valid CPL card, a photo ID and verification of address must be shown
4. Accept personal responsibility for outcomes resulting from the use of your card

As a holder of a library card, it is your responsibility to:

  • Be financially responsible for items borrowed with this card.
  • Keep your account up to date with correct contact information.
  • Monitor the items your child selects and checks out on this card.
  • Report a lost or stolen card immediately. (You are solely responsible for items borrowed on your card until you report it lost or stolen.)
