Get a Card

All you need is a valid photo ID and proof of your current address to get a library card with MCPL!

Stop by to complete a library card application.

You will need a photo ID with current address or a photo ID and another item showing you reside at the given address (recently postmarked mail, imprinted personal checks, property tax receipts, or other substantiated documents). Please note that a post office box is not considered a valid address to determine eligibility. A post office box may, however, be used as a mailing address in your patron record.

Juvenile borrowers (under 18 years of age) may obtain a library card in one of two ways:

• A parent or legal guardian may present acceptable identification and sign for the juvenile to receive full borrowing privileges.
• The juvenile may present proof of name (textbook, school ID, mail, etc.) and receive limited borrowing privileges.

If your card is lost or stolen, notify us immediately. There is no charge to replace a lost or damaged card. If you would like a new design, you can get a new card for $1.
