Library FAQ
To obtain a library card, please ask for an application at the front desk. Some form of ID with your name and current address on it must be shown at the time of application. If you are new to the area and do not have current ID, you may obtain a account that only allows two items to be checked out at a time. People younger than eighteen years of age will need a parent or legal guardian’s signature on the application. There is no charge to obtain a library card.
If you lose your library card, a new card will be issued to you. There is a $3.00 charge for this service.
Your library card may be used at any InfoSoup library. Click here for a directory of InfoSoup libraries.
