How do I get a library card?

To apply in person, you'll need a photo ID with your name and current address, such as your driver's license or state ID.  If the address is not current, bring a photo ID, plus an official document that lists your name and current address. We will accept real estate tax bill, current residential lease, current utility bill, current bank statement, paycheck, or other unexpired government documents.

Online registrants will need the above documentation when they arrive at the library to pick up their card.
