Or

  • Photo identification that does not show current address plus an additional proof of current address (such as a current utility bill, bank statement, or credit card bill showing name and current address).

A parent or legal guardian must be present to show the required identification (described above) and to sign the minor's library card before the card will be issued to the minor.
