Sign up online at home or in one of our open library locations.

Show your picture ID at any service desk. If your ID does not include your current Nevada address, please bring proof of address. Proof of address should have your name and address on it.

If you only want to use computer services, a Computer Use card will be issued, which will allow you to sign on to the public computers, but not check out materials.

Due to legal limits on the information in our records, it can be difficult to identify you without the card in hand.

You may not be able to check out materials or use some services without your card.

Parents or legal guardians must agree to financial responsibility for the library accounts of children under age 18. You are required to have a library card of your own in good standing in order to register a child.

You must designate full Internet access, filtered access, or no Internet access in the library for your child.

Child and responsible adult must be present to register for a library card.

PLEASE NOTE: Children 10 years of age and younger must be accompanied by an adult at all times.

When you register for your library card, you will set up your own password. Don’t forget it.

Use your password to access the library’s online services, as well as the public computers in the library.

If you forget your password, please ask library staff to reset it for you. To accurately identify you, staff may ask for your library card and your ID.

You may also reset your password online.

A replacement card costs $1.00.

Report it to the library IMMEDIATELY. If someone else uses your card, YOU are responsible for all materials and transactions prior to your report of the loss.

When items are one month overdue, you will receive a bill for the replacement costs of the materials.

Two weeks after billing, accounts with charges for unreturned items may be referred to our collections service, Unique National Collections, for additional follow-up. This service will incur an additional $10 fee on your account.

Payment must be made for unreturned items, rather than replacement with like materials, due to processing needs.
