Patron Eligibility Requirements

  1. Applicant must be a resident in the county in which they are applying for a card. Children under age 14 must have a parent's/guardian's signature.
     
  2. To be considered a resident, you must either pay taxes in the county in which you are applying for a library card OR have lived in the county for a minimum of 3 months.
     
  3. If you do not meet these requirements, or are just visiting the area, the library can issue you a "Temporary" card. You will need to fill out an application and leave a deposit for the materials that you borrow. Fees for Temporary Patrons are as follows:

    $25 -- Limit: 10 items

    $10 is NON-refundable -- $15 is refundable upon return of ALL items & borrower's library card.

    The refundable part of your deposit will be returned to you when either:

    (1) the residency requirements have been met and all materials have been
    returned in good order (at which time a permanent card will be issued if you so desire.)

    OR

    (2) if you are a visitor to the area, the refundable part of your deposit will
    be returned when you leave, provided all materials and the library card are returned in good order.
     
  4. Your library card is valid at each branch library in the Avery-Mitchell-Yancey Regional Library System.
     
  5. If you meet the eligibility requirements, there is no charge for your first card. There is, however, a $5.00 fee to replace first time lost before expiration date on the card. Cost to replace after first time is left to the discretion of the local library staff.
     
  6. All other fines and fees also apply to Temporary Patrons
