How Do I?

Find the phone number of a library?

Get a library card?

Go to your closest library, or bookmobile stop and take photo ID (such as a driver's license) and something with your current street address here in Polk County on it.  You will walk out the door with your new library card!

Renew my library materials?

Find out what library programs are happening today?
