If you lose your library card, you are responsible for any items checked out on your card.You must report it as lost immediately and we will block the card so that no one can use it. There may be a small charge to replace a lost card.

An address change will require proof of address to be shown in person. You may change your password to any combination of letters and numbers as long as the password is between 3-12 characters long.
