Library Card Agreement

Please read the following information carefully. When you’re ready, click “I Agree” below. You will be prompted to fill out a pre-application. Once that form is submitted, we will review your application and notify you by email to let you know that your card is ready to pick up within 2 business days.

Cards issued through the online process must be picked up within 1 month. Visit the library with your photo ID to pick up your card. If not picked up within 1 month, your account will be deactivated, and you will need to fill out a new application. (See our locations and hours.)

To receive your library card, you need to: 

  • Be a Carmel (Clay Township) resident.*
  • Show your government-issued photo ID in person at the library.
  • Show proof of your current address (if it is not listed on your current ID).

It is your responsibility to: 

  • Be financially responsible for items borrowed with this card.
  • Keep your account up to date with correct contact information.
  • Monitor the items your child selects and checks out on this card.
  • Report a lost or stolen card immediately. (You are solely responsible for items borrowed on your card until you report it lost or stolen.)

Note: This application is a contract and is for new cards only. If you already have a library card that needs to be renewed, please visit the library with a current ID so we can confirm that your account information is correct. If you need assistance, call us at 317.814.3936.
