Note on Applying for a Library Card
While we strive to create accounts on demand, a supervisor must be available to create the account and technological issues may result in a delay. There may be times when we cannot issue new library accounts. When applying for a library card, be sure to ask for a Circulation Supervisor at the front desk. Thank you for your patience in this matter.
In order to apply for an account, you must provide your Social Security number.
