Borrowing Library Materials

Library Card Information

Library cards are provided free of charge to any person who wishes to borrow library materials. Applicants for library cards are required to show a valid Nevada driver’s license or I.D. A card can be used to check out material in any library in our system. This card must be presented whenever the borrower wishes to check out library material. Borrowers are responsible for the return of all materials checked out on their cards. The borrower must notify the library at once if the card is lost or stolen. There is a small charge for a replacement card.

Children under 18 but older than 6 may apply in person accompanied by their parent or legal guardian, who must sign the application and show a valid Nevada driver’s license or Nevada I.D.
