Getting a Library Card

If you are an Ohio resident, bring in a picture ID with current address & one other piece of identification to sign up. Please bring with you to the library some proof of your current address. (Examples: Car registration, postmarked envelopes from bills or other mail sent to your address, checkbook.)
Children under 16 will need their parent or guardian to come into the library and sign their application form.
You are NOT required to get one of the "new" cards. Your old card will still work as before. If, however, you would like to replace the old card just to have the convenience of the new keychain cards the standard $1 replacement fee will apply.

Library Cards issued at Hillsboro, Leesburg, Lynchburg, & Greenfield can be used at all the
Highland County District Libraries . You do not need one for each of those libraries.

	If you wish to use our public Internet computers, you will also need to read through and sign our acceptable use policy.
	Note: We no longer accept the library cards of other county libraries.-August 2005
