1. How do I get a library card? You must register with a librarian for a library card. You will need some form of identification, for example, the librarian may ask to see your driver's license or a bill with your current address before a card can be issued. Cards are issued for immediate use and may be used the same day they are issued. If you are 18 years old or younger, you will need to have a parent or legal guardian complete the registration form before a card can be issued. Please notify the library if you card is lost or stolen so that we can prevent others from using your card. 2. Can I use my Mill Pond library card at other libraries?
