You will need to complete a registration form and provide photo identification and verification of your current address. \u00a0Forms of address verification may include a bill, such as a power or phone bill. Library cards issued to youths ages 5 through 17 years of age require a legal guardian\u2019s signature.<\/span><\/p>\n
A Limited fee-paid nonresident card can be issued.<\/span><\/p>\n
The name that the Harrison County Library card is issued under is responsible for\u00a0<\/span>ALL<\/span> materials that are borrowed under that card. This includes all fines and bills associated with the card. To avoid problems, patrons should only check out their own materials on their card and not others.<\/span><\/p>\n
Your library card may be used at all member libraries of the Harrison County Library System.<\/span><\/p>\n
You can borrow books, large print books, books on tape, videos, DVDS, and CDs.<\/span><\/p>\n
If the materials are at another location, you can request that these materials be sent to the library nearest you. If they are not in the system at all, you may make an Inter-Library Loan Request.<\/span><\/p>\n
The first time you use a new card, you are limited to 2 items. Other limits may apply; contact your local branch for more information.<\/span><\/p>\n
The library has loan periods that vary from 7 to 14 days. A receipt is given at checkout with the due date. Please be sure to check these prior to leaving the library in case you have any questions.<\/span><\/p>\n
A library card is necessary to check out any materials from the library. The cost of replacement is $2.00.<\/span><\/p>\n
All changes should be reported to the Library. Contact any one of the Harrison County Libraries by phone or in person.<\/span><\/p>\n
Yes. To make a request, click the button \u201cRequest item\u201d and fill out the appropriate information, or you may call any of the member libraries and place a request.<\/span><\/p>\n

Please have available your library card and the item barcode number for the materials you wish to renew. You can renew items individually or all the items you have charged, provided there are no holds, and it is a renewable item. \u00a0Or log in to your account through the library catalog.<\/span><\/p>\n
