Family Card or Personal Card: What Works for You?: |
|
|
Check out the library card options below
|
|
|
 The Sycamore Public Library has made changes to the Circulation Policy regarding library cards so that you are in charge of who sees what, and we can make sure that we consistently offer you the level of privacy and confidentiality you desire.
We now offer three types of library cards; a family card, an adult personal card, and a child personal card. The family card allows all agreeing household members one library card number that is shared between family members. This means that you can pick up materials for any member listed on that family card. The adult and child personal card are for one individual only. The person listed on that card is the only person who can borrow materials on that card, and the only person who can pick up materials requested on that card.
For complete details about the three types of library cards follow the link. To read the newly revised Circulation Policy follow this link.
If you already have library cards and you want to merge into the new family card, we ask that you bring all existing library cards and family members to the library to make the change. Your cards need to be clear of fines and borrowed items. It takes a bit of time to make all of the necessary changes so we appreciate your patience while we get used to these new procedures. All existing cards that have not been changed to family cards, are considered personal cards and library staff is authorized to only speak to the person whose name is attached to that record. Children who have a children's personal card should stop at the second floor circulation desk to get a new blue library card.
