DID YOU KNOW?

Your WVLN library card is accepted in 114 libraries across the state and can be used to download digital books, movies, music, and more!

THE BASICS

  • Youth from the ages of 0 to 17 may obtain a library card; however, a parent/legal guardian is required to sign the library card application accepting cardholder responsibilities for his/her child under 18 years of age.
