How can I get a library card? 

You must present proof of your current Moffat County address, a government issued photo ID and current phone number. If your driver's license does not list your present address, you may use an imprinted check, utility bill, typewritten rent receipt, etc. No handwritten receipts will be accepted. (If you are not a resident of Moffat County, there is a $15 annual charge for a non-resident card.) Children under 16 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian when applying for a card. For more information on library policies, click here.
