Children must be 6 or older to get a library card. All children 16 and under must have a parent's signature or guardian's signature to get a card. To get a card for the first time, you must bring in a valid form of ID or other official papers verifying your street address.
Any questions regarding what is official, please contact the library.
If you do not live in an area served by a library district, it is possible to get a local-use only library card for every member of the household. This card is good only at the St. Joseph Township-Swearingen Memorial Library. However, the library can still borrow materials from other libraries for you or you can order the materials through the LINC catalog. Contact the Library if you have any questions.
