Library Card Policy

  • Sample CardLibrary cards are issued free to anyone residing within Hanover Township. Proof of current physical address is required at the time of registration (driver's license, voter's registration card, rent contract/agreement, checkbook, business mail).
  • Children age 5 (if they can print their name) through age 16:  A parent/legal guardian must accompany the child/teen to the library and fill out and sign the application for a library card. Parents/guardians are responsible for their children’s use of library materials, including payment of any fines, fees and charges incurred by their children.
  • A verifiable physical AND mailing address and phone number (if available) must be on file at the library. Please notify the library if there is a change of address and/or phone number.
  • Cards are non-transferable between family members. To check out materials, each patron must have his/her own card (except pre-school children) and cannot use a family member's card. Only parents can check out items for their pre-school children.
  • The card entitles patrons with reciprocal borrowing at PALS (Prairie Area Library System) libraries.
  • Non-Residents: For those residing outside Hanover Township, a fee of $50 is charged per year for a family membership. (This fee is reassessed on an annual basis by the Board of Trustees.) The same rules apply to the non-resident cards that apply to cards of Hanover Township residents, including reciprocal borrowing at PALS libraries.
  • Initial library card is free; replacement card fee is $1.  The patron is to notify the library in the case of a lost or stolen card.
