Temporary Library card holders and individuals interested in a new Library card,
bring in photo identification and proof of residency.
Acceptable proof of residency:

The cardholder is responsible for all library materials checked out. Cardholders must report lost or stolen library cards to the Checkout Desk, 989-837-3457. Change of name, address, phone number, or email address should be reported to the Checkout Desk. Minors (under 18 years old) must have a parent or legal guardian present and sign the application to obtain a card. Parents or legal guardians who sign for a minor are responsible for all items that minor checks out.
