How do I get a library card?
Option 1: Stop by the library and get a permanent card. Bring an ID and proof of current residence (a mailed bill or another official document) to the library. You will be asked to fill out a short form and then you\u2019ll be issued a card.<\/p>\n
Option 2: Get an instant temporary card online now, then convert it to a permanent card when you get a chance. Use it to check out materials from the library, access digital audiobooks, magazines and ebooks (OverDrive and Libby), and to use most of our online resources.<\/p>\n

A parent or legal guardian must sign the registration application for children under the age of (18) eighteen. A parent or legal guardian must provide his or her proper ID to be entered into the database for the child. If the parent or legal guardian has his\/her own library card, that card must be in good standing (fines below $10.00) before he\/she can sign for a card for his\/her child.<\/p>\n
If the parent or legal guardian has a card that is not in good standing (fines above $10.00), the child will be issued a restricted card which means only 2 items may be checked out at any Lakeshores Library System library. Once the parent or legal guardian\u2019s card is in good standing (fines under $10.00), the child\u2019s card will be changed to the unrestricted category.<\/p>\n
