How To Get a Library Card
To obtain a library card, you must meet two qualifications:
-
You must reside in a served township in Carroll County, one whose taxes support the library (Adams, Deer Creek, Jefferson, and Rock Creek).
-
You must provide photo identification and proof of your address in that township. A driver’s license with your current address can count for both an ID and address.
Photo ID
– Driver’s License
– State ID
– School ID
– Passport
– Parent/Guardian verification (minors only)
Proof of Residency
– Driver’s License
– State ID
– Car Registration
– Check Book
– Lease
– Pay Stub
– Utility Bill
Served townships Include Adams, Deer Creek, Jefferson, and Rock Creek. Residents of Jackson and Monroe townships must first obtain a library card from their public library in Camden or Flora. Residents of Burlington, Clay, Carrollton, Democrat, Liberty, Madison, Tippecanoe, and Washington townships, which are townships in which the library is not supported by taxes, may obtain a library card after paying the current non-resident fee. Beginning May 21, 2023, the non-resident fee is $105/year, $52.50/six months, $26.25/three months.
​
If you are under 18 years of age, your parent must sign for your library card, agreeing to be responsible for materials borrowed on your card.
​
Public Library Access Cards area available for $65 and allow you to extend the use of your local card to all public libraries in the state of Indiana. If you live in a township which does not receive library service, however, you must first purchase a local card.
​
If you live in an unserved township, you may apply to the Psi Iota Xi sorority for assistance in paying for your card. You can pick up an application form at the library or here.
