~ HOW TO REGISTER FOR A LIBRARY CARD ~

Any resident of Windsor Locks may register for a library card at any age by filling out a registration card, which is available at the Circulation desk in the library. We also offer online registration. The person in whose name the card is issued must visit the library in order to obtain or activate their library card, even if they cannot yet sign their name (i.e. parents may not obtain cards for a minor child unless the child accompanies them to the library) . Residents ages 16 and over and parents of minors must provide a picture I.D. (driver's license, state ID, or school ID) and proof of residency (a postmarked piece of mail, check stub, lease, etc.). For residents under the age of 16 the signature of a parent or guardian is required along with proof of residency for that person. Please note that parents or guardians whose cards are blocked due to fines or lost items may not sign for a child's card or use their child's card until their own record has been cleared. (A child may continue to use his/her own card to check out materials for themselves even if their parent's card is blocked).

All fines and obligations related to any library card previously issued in Connecticut must be settled before a Windsor Locks card may be issued or renewed.

Library cards are valid for a period of three (3) years. If the card is lost prior to the renewal date, a fee of $1 will be charged for a replacement card. There is no charge for initial registration or regular renewals of your Windsor Locks library card.

Under the Connecticut State Library's "CONNECTICARD" plan, any valid public library card may be used in ALL public libraries in the state of Connecticut.
