Educators from East Texas area school districts, professional writers, journalists, media people, medical personnel and members of many other professions are usually approved. Since the application must be verified, usually by telephone calls, it can take several working days before a card is issued. Approved cards can be picked up at the Circulation Desk after notification of the approval or mailed to the new patron. A Special Borrowers card allows check-out of up to 3 books for 1 week at a time. This card expires at the end of each calendar year.
Library cards are non-transferable.
