How to get a Library Card<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • When applying for a library card, you must present a photo ID and a proof of address (if you have a current and up-to-date driver\u2019s license, that counts for both). You should have the name and telephone number of a person who does not live at your address when applying for a card for an emergency contact.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
