3. How do I get a library card?

Anyone, regardless of age, sex, race, or place of residence, can obtain a library card by:

EXAMPLES: state driver’s license, state ID, student ID, utility bill, bank statement, voter registration card, checkbook. If your picture ID does not have your current address, please also bring something that shows your current mailing address.
*NOTE: We will ask for your birth date and your Social Security Number or Kansas ID Number in order to legally distinguish between persons and for collection purposes.
