Get A Library Card

Anyone age 5 and older can get a free library card if they:

• live in McDowell County.
• work in McDowell County.
• go to school in McDowell County.
• own property in McDowell County.

To get a card, show photo identification with your correct mailing address at the circulation desk.  Library Card Applications are available at the Circulation Desk.

Children under 17 will need the signature of a parent or legal guardian.

There is a $2.00 fee to replace a lost card.

People not eligible for a free card may get an Out of County card by paying $15.00 per year.

Library cards expire every 3 years, so you will need to come into one of our libraries to renew your account.
