HOW TO GET A LIBRARY CARD
|
Dover
children ages 5 through grade 6 may apply for and be issued their own library card in the
Children’s Room. The application must be signed by the child’s parent or
guardian who assumes responsibility for the child’s borrowing.
Non-resident cards are given to children whose parents have purchased a
family card. Non-resident children attending public schools in Dover are issued a free library card at school. Non-resident children attending a private school in Dover may purchase a student card for $80 per year. You are responsible for all items checked out on your library card; notify the Library immediately if your card is lost or stolen. There is a $2.00 replacement fee for lost cards. |
