How to get a Library Card

You will need to stop by the library to apply in person. Library cards are free for residents of Bowling Green, Missouri living within the city limits. Proof of address in the form of a driver's license or a piece of mail with your current address is required.

For those residing outside of city limits, there are two different levels of membership:

  • Individual memberships are $20 per year and allow up to 6 items checked out at a time.
  • Family memberships are $40 per year and have unlimited checkouts.

All children under the age of 18 are required to have a parent or legal guardian present when registering for a library card.

Membership includes access to our entire catalog, including materials from our local library, access to materials from across the state, as well as ebooks and audiobooks.
