How Do I get a library card ?

There is no charge for a Library card to citizens who live within the city of Allegan or the townships of Valley, Allegan, Trowbridge, Cheshire and Heath. To get a card, simply come by the Library with proof of your current address and the name, address, and telephone number of a contact person. Examples of proof of residence can be a Michigan Drivers License, lease agreement, checks from a local bank, utility bills, etc. Children under the age of 18 need the signature of their parents or legal guardian on their registration cards. Out of area visitors are always welcome and can use the materials in the library without a card.

Persons living outside the official service area may purchase a family card for $20 per year. Charge of this non-resident fee is an attempt to share fairly the burden of the Library's operating costs.

The Allegan Public Library is a participating library in the Michicard Program.
