How Do I Get a Library Card?
Bring your picture ID and proof of address to any public library in Jefferson
County and fill out an application. There is no charge for your first card. You
will receive a library card and may use it the same day. If you live outside
Jefferson County, there is an annual fee of $50. Some
municipal libraries may have different policies. Children under the age of 15
must have a parent or legal guardian sign the responsibility statement on the
application.
