Residents of these two townships may apply for a library card by providing proof of current residence. Juveniles under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian who must sign the library application.

Non-Resident Borrowers
Liberty, Big Creek, Honey Creek, and West Point Township residents may apply for a library card, which will be purchased (all or in part) by their township trustees.

 Borrowers must bring their own library card to check out materials. Those with valid individual library cards may borrow 100 items including 10 DVDs/videos at one time per card.
Patrons will receive a "checkout receipt" which lists all items checked out and their due dates on that card.
