For printed application forms, please stop by the library ahead of the class visit to pick up application forms for library cards, or ask that we mail them to you. Please have the students fill out the forms before the visit; bring them to the Main Desk at least one day prior to the class visit. At the time of the visit students must bring with them photo I.D. and proof of home address. The forms and I.D.s will be processed while the tour or visit is conducted. Your students will be ready to borrow materials immediately after the tour visit.
