Lost Library Cards Policy

(Creation & revision: 1/27/1997, 4/21/1997, 1/24/2000; 3/15/2010; 11/18/2013; 2/25/2019; 1/13/2020)

A replacement library card may be issued to patrons reporting a lost or stolen library card.  Proof of identity is required. (See Procedures Manual for identification requirements for a library card.)

Lost cards are replaced for a fee that is uniform across the Library System, determined by majority vote of the Library Directors.  This fee is not charged when replacing cards that are worn due to normal use, or to replace cards that are lost due to circumstances beyond the customer’s control such as theft, flood, fire, etc.
