| Q: |
How do I get a library card?
|
|
| A: |
The Library participates in California's Universal Borrowing Program, which means that any California resident who has acceptable ID is eligible for an Arcadia Library card. To obtain your card we ask you to bring a picture ID with proof of your California residency, such as a California driver's license or California identification card with current address. If the address is crossed out, one other form of identification validating your current address, or mail not older than thirty days, must be presented. A post office box number is acceptable when validated by two pieces of current mail, with one piece of mail or identification having the permanent home address. For information on other acceptable forms of identification, please contact Circulation at (626) 821-5571. A patron without proper identification will not be issued a library card. Self-made identification will not be accepted. The patron must be present to receive a library card.
