Note: At the time of application, all applicants must be present and individuals under 14 years of age need a parent/guardian present.

Lost Your Card?
To prevent and limit misuse, library card holders are urged to notify the library as soon as possible when a card is lost or stolen. The library will immediately suspend the card when notification is received. Card holders are responsible for all material checked out on a lost or stolen card up to the time when the library is notified.
There is a $3 replacement fee for lost cards.
Please report lost cards and changes of address immediately at the library or call 215-788-7891.
