You are responsible for all materials borrowed with your personal library card. In using the card you agree to abide by the library’s rules regarding materials use. Guardians of customers under the age of 15 are responsible for all materials checked out with the minor’s card.

Keep your contact information up-to-date. Notify the library immediately if you lose your card.

The first library card is free of charge.
