Library Card Benefits:

Library Card

All patrons are required to present their library card in order for access to be made to a library card account. If you cannot produce your card, you will not be permitted to check-out, renew, place holds, etc. This is for your security as it ensures that materials are checked out to the right person.  

If you require a replacement library card, please be prepared to show a piece of ID. Replacement library cards cost $1.
