Do I have to have my library card with me to check out or use library materials?

All patrons are expected to bring their library cards with them if they intend to check out items. On a case-by-case basis, photo ID may be used in place of the library card. Only Jefferson County card-holders may use photo ID in this manner, and only when library staff can confirm their identity through comparison of photo ID and library account (address, birthday, etc.). 

A patron who repeatedly fails to present a library card may be denied borrower privileges until they present their library card or purchase a replacement.
