All Ohio residents may apply for a Clark County Public Library card.
However, if they are under 18, there are more specific guidelines. Someone under the age of 18 must have a parent/legal guardian present a photo ID, proof of address, and signed application. If the child is not with them, they must show proof of the child's existence with birth certificate, current grade cards, social security card, etc.
Children under 5 must be with the parent/legal guardian to get a library card and the guardian must present the usual ID and proof of address in addition to proof that this is their child. Valid forms of proof include birth certificate, shot records, social security card, school records, or insurance cards.
If a teenager (9th grade and up) wishes to get a library card, they can get one as long as they show a valid ID. Full library access is only granted if their form is filled out and signed by a parent/legal guardian. Without guardian's signature, they will only be able to borrow books.
Parent/legal guardians will be responsible for any lost and/or damaged items.
Children under the age of 8 must have an attentive parent/caregiver in the immediate vicinity of (and in visual contact with) the child.
Please review our Unattended Child Policy for more information.

The Rotunda now has comfortable seating with tables and a vending area. It is a nice place to meet people if privacy is not required. Sound buffering added to the area greatly reduces noise, so you can have a conversation without disrupting business in other areas of the library.
