Getting a library card at the Allegan District Library

There is no charge for a Library card to citizens who live within the area of the Allegan Public School District (see APS map). To get a card, simply come by the Library:

• With proof of your current address and the name, address, and telephone number of a contact person. Examples of proof of residence can be a Michigan Drivers License, lease agreement, checks from a local bank, utility bills, etc.

• Children under the age of 18 need the signature of their parents or legal guardian on their registration cards.

• Out of area visitors are always welcome and can use library materials in the library without a card.

• We do have reciprocal agreements with Hopkins, Plainwell and Otsego libraries.

• Persons living outside the official service area may purchase a family card for $20 per year. Charge of this non-resident fee is an attempt to share fairly the burden of the Library’s operating costs.

• The Allegan District Library is a participating library in the Michicard Program.
