With a library membership card, patrons have access to all library materials, public computers and the Internet and agree to abide by the Internet Terms of Use.
Membership is free for every resident and visiting non-resident. Non-residents must register in-person at one of our library branches.
Membership Categories and Definitions

By signing a child’s library membership card, parents or legal guardians assume responsibility for monitoring the use of library materials and the Internet.
