September is Library Card Sign Up Month! If you are not the proud owner of a library card take this opportunity to sign up. To register for a library card you must be age sixteen and older and present a current photo ID, working phone number, and mailing address. After completing the registration form, your card will be mailed to you. Bring your card in to use it to check out one item for the first time. After returning that item on time you may have regular privileges. Preschool children may check out under their parents' or legal guardians' cards. Students up to age 16 may register for a card with a parent/guardian who presents current ID information.
