Q: I don't have a library card. Where can I get one?
A: You can sign up for a library card at the library in the town in which you reside. If you are unsure of your home library, you can call RCLS to help direct you, or staff at a member library can help determine where to go. After figuring out your home library, it is recommended you call the library to learn what types of documents you may need to sign up for a library card.
