The library issues free cards to borrowers residing within the incorporated limits of the city of Highland. Applicants 12 or younger need a parental signature on the application. Nonresidents may purchase a card for an amount equal to the taxes paid for library support by Highland residents.
Cards become invalid with a change of address.
The library card must be presented for checkout or renewal, and when requesting a reserve item or an interlibrary loan. Parents are encouraged to oversee their children's selections. The only borrowing restrictions on a children's card is videocassettes and audiocassettes. Materials are checked out for 2 weeks and may be renewed for up to four times. Videocassettes are circulated for 1 week only and may not be renewed.
