Library cards are issued to individuals and are not transferable among family members or friends. Children will be issued their own library cards when they reach the age of 5 years. Having their own library card is a privilege granted to children at this age because it is felt that they can be more responsible about proper use, care, and return of library materials.
Cardholders are responsible for all items checked out on their cards.
Patrons are encouraged to present their cards at the circulation desk for the most efficient service. Patrons are responsible for notifying the Library of any change of name, address, phone number, or place of employment. Residents of other Iowa towns with public libraries that participate in Open Access must show proof of name and current address. Parents must show proper ID or valid Marion library card before a child's card will be issued. All cards will be completed at the time the patron applies - assuming all of the above requirements are met.
