Sign up for a Library Card at the Liberal Memorial Library

September is National Library Card Sign-up month.
Come down to the Liberal Memorial Library and sign up for a card today. It’s easy and free!

Here’s information on library policies and how to get a library card.

Liberal Memorial Library’s collection includes more than 77,000 items: books, audio books, DVDs, magazines, music CDs, reference materials, and puppets, through the Kansas Library Card.

Library cards are free to all residents of Kansas. Out-of-state residents are also eligible.

All library patrons over the age of 18 MUST present a government-issued form of identification and a utility bill.

Library cards are sent through the United States Postal Service to library patrons and should arrive within one week of application.

A patron cannot check out items until they receive their card in the mail.

Children are entitled to the same check out privileges as adults. They must have a parent or guardian present to get a library card. This parent or guardian will be held responsible for the safe return of all library property and any fines or fees that are accrued.

The staff asks that parents or guardians monitor the appropriateness of library materials that their children borrow. The library staff is not responsible for making that judgment as individual families have different ways of deciding what is suitable for their children.

All materials in the library may be checked out for two weeks, except for DVDs which may be checked out for one week.

All library patrons must have their own library card to check out materials.

In an effort to circulate as many materials as possible a patron is limited to no more than 15 items: which may include four DVDs, six audio CDs (including audio CD books and music CDs), six magazines, one e-reader, and four interlibrary loan items.

Overdue items are $.10 per day except for DVDs which are $1 per day.

Materials may be renewed in person, by telephone, or online.

Most materials may be renewed twice unless another patron has reserved the item.
DVDs, pre-literacy kits, and items that have placed in the New York Times Bestsellers cannot be renewed.

A request for renewal of interlibrary loan materials must be made three days before the due date or they may not be subject to renewal.
