Bring the Library Home

Get a Library Card

Library cards are for all ages! Children must bring a legal guardian, with photo ID and proof of local address, by one of the library locations to get an account set up. Teens, ages 13-17 years old, may use their own identification to obtain a card.

You can also request a temporary card online. This card will be good for 90 days; come by a library to get it changed into a permanent library card.
