How do I get a library card?

When applying for a library card, please have a photo ID and a valid proof of address available.

All residents of Cole and Osage Counties, ages 5 and up, are eligible for a Library card. Missouri River Regional Library also has reciprocal agreements with Daniel Boone Regional Library, Scenic Regional Library, Heartland Regional Library and Price James Memorial Library in Tipton.

Patrons of these libraries may use MRRL facilities at no charge and in exchange, MRRL patrons may use their facilities. Other Missouri residents may also use MRRL for an annual fee. Currently, the fee is $50 for an individual card or a family card.

Applicants age 5 to 17 years must have a parent or legal guardian sign the application.

Applicants age 18 and up must present an ID (Drivers license, school ID, voter ID, etc.) with current address.

Temporary cards:

College students attending local universities may obtain a 1 year temporary card with proper student ID.

State legislators may also apply for a card.

Resident cards expire two years from issue date and are nontransferable. Only YOU may use your Library card. Please be aware that you will need the ID and current address information when you apply for a card.
