Library Card

Library cards are free and valid for one (1) year. The Library System has no minimum age for a patron to obtain a library card. Anyone can use the resources of the Pope County Library, but only registered patrons may borrow library materials. Cardholders are responsible for all items checked out on their cards, whether the card is used by the owner of the card or anyone else. Patrons are limited to a total of fifteen (15) library items checked out per card, of which 7 may be DVDs.  For more information, see https://static.visionamp.co/rubix/20170525/circulation-policy-0822-2013-60093.pdf.
