Library Membership and Policies

LIBRARY MEMBERSHIPS

Patrons must possess a membership card in order to check out library materials. Getting your own library card is easy and cheap. Here's what you need to do:

1. Fill out the info card and your membership card available at the Circulation Desk. The Info Card is for filing for the PPL and the Membership card (the smaller one) is for you to keep to show proof of membership when needed.
2. Pay your $1.00 fee to the librarian and you are set FOR THE ENTIRE YEAR!

That's it! You're ready to borrow!
