If your child comes in without a parent or guardian, we can issue a temporary card so they can start enjoying the library right away.

  • If your library card is lost or stolen, let us know right away—either by calling a library location or reaching out online. We’ll temporarily block your account until you come in with a photo ID to get a free replacement. Until you report it missing, any materials checked out on the card are the responsibility of the cardholder.
