Obtaining a Library Card

Library Card Application

Highland City residents can obtain free library cards through the following process:

  1. Complete a Highland City Library Card Application. This may be obtained in the library or download the application (PDF).
  2. Provide a photo ID and a proof of residence, such as utility bill, rental agreement, or any piece of mail postmarked in the last 90 days with your name and address.
  3. Present all information at the Circulation Desk.
  4. Patrons can obtain a library card or renew an expired card over the phone or email.  To do this they are asked to email a photograph of the relevant ID and/or proof of residence.  For those obtaining a non-resident card, the non-resident fee can be paid over the phone with a credit card.

Note: Children age five and older may obtain a library card that is attached to their parent's card.
