Registering for a library card takes just a few moments. On presentation of proof of identity and current residential address, anyone who resides, attends school, or is employed within Franklin County, Ohio may obtain a Bexley Public Library borrower’s card. Children’s registration must be completed with the signature of a responsible parent or legal guardian, who will be required to show identification if not already a registered borrower at Bexley Public Library. New registrants who wish to borrow videocassettes or DVDs must provide additional proof of current residential address by returning an address verification form to the library which will have been mailed to them at their residential address. A library card is similar to a retail credit or charge card and should be treated with great care. Materials worth hundreds of dollars may be borrowed with the card.
