New Library Card

Your ticket to endless possibilities...

Adult Library Card Applicants

 

 

To obtain your very own adult library card from Western Plains Library System, an applicant must 17 years old or older, physically visit one of our libraries, and provide one form of identification: a government issued photo ID with the applicant’s current address in the four-county area (Custer, Dewey, Roger Mills, Washita).

If the applicant’s government issued ID does not have his/her current address listed, below is a list of acceptable forms of address verification:

 

 

  • Personal Check with Printed Name Address
  • Current Rent Receipt
  • Current Utility Bill (Current within the last 90 days)

What if I do not live in Custer, Dewey, Roger Mills, or Washita County?

 

If you provide a current government issued photo ID and either proof of employment (such as a pay stub), proof of land ownership (such as a property tax statement), or proof that someone in your household attends school within one of the above listed counties, a library card may still be issued to you.

What if I do not qualify in any of the above ways, but I still want a library card?

 

Customers who do not qualify in the above situations may pay an annual fee of $50.00 for library service. This qualifies the entire household and must be paid annually upon expiration of the cards.

Can my child get a library card?

Absolutely! Children 16 years old and under can be issued a library card and will be listed as the dependent of an adult’s card. In order to be a responsible party, the individual must meet the above requirements and have in loco parentis authority. At that point, the adult is agreeing to be responsible for the well being of library materials borrowed by the listed dependents as well as giving his/her consent for the child/children to use the library and its resources, including the internet.

Even if the adult doesn’t qualify in any way,  the child may still obtain a card if he/she attends school in one of our four counties. Tell your local library staff where the child in question attends school, and they can take it from there.
