How can I get a library card?\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/p>

Residents of Ellsworth and surrounding areas may obtain a library card at the J.H. Robbins Memorial Library. The card issued by J.H. Robbins Memorial Library is free.<\/span><\/p>

When applying for a library card, we need to ask three things:<\/span><\/b><\/p>

\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span><\/span>Do you have a library card from another library?<\/span><\/p>

\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span><\/span>Do you have photo I.D.?<\/span><\/p>

A driver’s license with current address is the easiest way to apply. If you do not have that, we will accept a photo ID, plus one of the following:<\/span><\/p>

\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span><\/span>A checkbook with your name and current address printed on it.<\/span><\/p>

\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span><\/span>A current lease with your name and address on it.<\/span><\/p>

\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span><\/span>A piece of current mail only if the envelope has your name, current address and a postmark dated within the last 30 days.<\/span><\/p>
