  • Eligibilty for library service
    A Lincoln County Public Libraries Borrower's Card is available to any individual. Individuals under the age of 15 must have a parent or legal guardian sign for responsibility. The card entitles the bearer to all rights, privileges, and responsibilities in using the Lincoln County Libraries. The library will not censor materials or restrict access to materials for any patron.

    Individuals under the age of 15 must have a parent or legal guardian sign for responsibility.
    The person who signs for the card must present proof of current residency. The proof of residency must show the signer’s current address. Restriction of a child’s access is the responsibility of the parent or legal guardian.

    If a person can not show proof of current address, their card will remain in probationary status until proof of address is shown.

    All new patrons are subject to a probationary period of three months. During the first three months, three items at any one time may be checked out on a card.

    Lincoln County Public Libraries borrowers may use their library card to check out and return their materials at any of the three libraries within Lincoln County or any libraries participating in the MSC Partner Program.
