Library Cards for Kids
Juvenile library cards are available for children under 18. The parent or guardian should come to the library with the child and sign a registration card accepting responsibility.
Children can use the free library card to:
- Borrow any of our books, magazines, DVDs, videos, audio books, CD-ROMs and music CDs
- Use the online research databases. The library pays for this service. You can sign in with your library card number.
- Sign up to use in-library computers and access the Internet.
