Everyone in the community can be a library member. They can get a membership card online, over the phone, or in person. Library membership is free.

Members can use all library materials. They can use library public computers. They can use the library Internet. Members agree to follow the Internet Terms of Use.

Visitors to the community can also use the library. They need to register in-person at a library branch.

Membership Types

Adult: A person who is over the age of 14.

Child: A person who is under the age of 14.

A parent or legal guardian has to agree for a child to be a member. The parent or legal guardian signs a form for this.

• The parent or legal guardian agrees to follow the library rules.
• They are responsible for their child.
• They are responsible if their child loses or damages library property
• They are responsible for the items their child borrows from the library
• They are responsible for how their child uses the library Internet.

A parent can see their child’s library records. They need to ask library staff. The branch manager will make sure the child is under 14 first. They will check the parent’s identity.
