Library Cards:
The Lyons
Public Library issues library cards to residents of Lyons provided the
resident is
free of outstanding fines and/or fees within the Metropolitan
Library System. Lyons Public Library
cards are good at over seventy-five
libraries within the Metropolitan Library System.
Patrons must present a library card each time one wishes to check out
library materials.
Should a resident's library card be lost or stolen, it is the cardholder's
responsibility to notify
the Lyons Library immediately.
To obtain a new Lyons Public Library card:
1. Bring one piece of picture identification (driver's license or state ID)
and a current utility bill
to the library. Both items must show your Lyons
address.
2. Complete a registration card.
The Lyons Library will issue a Juvenile library card to any person 18 or
younger and able to write
his or her own name. A parent or guardian must
sign the juvenile's application, thus accepting
financial responsibility for
all borrowed materials.
Legal guardians must provide proof of guardianship.
To renew a
library card, bring in your current card and the documentation listed above.
To replace a lost card, bring in the documentation listed above and a $3.00
