You must be 5 years old and have a parent/guardian with you to get a library card.
A child (ages 5 and up) may acquire a children’s library card with their parent or guardian being the primary owner of the card. Therefore the parent or guardian is responsible for the account and able to gain access to information about the account. Once a child is able to obtain a government-issued photo ID and parental permission, they may have their own adult card; no one other than the child may have access to this card.
Anyone over the age of 16 does not have to have parental permission to obtain an adult library card.
If a parent or guardian would like to add an additional adult to the account they may do so, but only with written consent.
