Getting a Sm@rtLibrary Card
You need a Sm@rtLibrary card to borrow from the lending libraries. Active members at partner libraries can ask for a Sm@rtLibrary card at their home library. Card members are responsible for the management of their materials and any fines or charges that result from their use of materials.
Each library has specific rules about how to access these materials.
