The parent must sign the application and be responsible for abiding by library policies on behalf of the child. Some libraries require that the child be able to write his or her own first and last name before the child will be issued a card. In some cities you can apply for a library card online. Some libraries will mail the card to you, but you may have to pick it up at the library in person. If your library card is lost or stolen, you must notify the library, or you will be responsible for any charges against your card.
Libraries charge a small replacement fee for lost cards.
