Getting a Library Card

For an Adult, two forms of ID are required: one with a photo and current address, and the second with the complete name.
If you have recently moved and your ID does not reflect your new address, you can bring in a piece of mail from the last 30 days with the new address.

For a child, a parent or legal guardian must be present with child to get a library card. The parent will need to show two forms of ID and the child, if possible, will need to write their name on their newly issued card.


You can also get a Temporary Online Library Card. This card can only be used for the ebooks and e-audiobooks.
