Library Card Eligibility
Anyone age 5 and older who lives, works, and/or goes to school in Lamar County may get a library card that provides full access to all library services. Patrons living outside of the Lamar County service area are eligible for a library card at no additional cost. Children 14 and under must have a parent or legal guardian present when signing up for a library card. Young adults age 15 to 17 may get a limited-use library card independently, but a parent or guardian must come in to the library to authorize changing the library card to full access.
To sign up for a free library card, please visit any Lamar County Library System locations, or register online, and provide one form of identification for each applicant.
Any person may use materials in-house. To check out materials (or to carry materials out of the library), patrons must obtain a library card.
Accepted forms of identification include: driver’s license, learner's permit, military ID, state issued ID, or selective service card.
