A Middlebury Public Library card may be used to borrow materials at any public library in the State of Connecticut that participates in the BorrowIT CT library service program. Any person eighteen years of age or older, or the parent/guardian of any person under eighteen years of age, with a Middlebury Public Library card is responsible for all charged materials, associated fees, and notification of card loss or change of address. All initial cards are free of charge. A $2.00 fee will be assessed for any replacement cards.

Residents:

The Middlebury Public Library will issue a free initial library card to any patron who is a current resident of Middlebury and can establish proof of residency. A patron who is a Middlebury property owner (but not a year-round resident) may also receive a free library card by presenting a tax receipt, showing a form of photo identification, and completing the borrower application at the Middlebury Public Library. Patrons must apply for a library card in person. Children under 18 are required to have a parent or guardian’s signature when applying for a library card with the adult assuming full responsibility for activity on the child’s card. Children must be able to write their name to apply for a library card.

Library cards are issued to patrons only; each patron may have only one library card. Library cards are valid for three years from the date they are issued. Upon expiration, library cards may be renewed for an additional three years. Renewals must be done in person at the Middlebury Public Library and valid identification and proof of residency must be provided. No library card shall be issued for the joint use of a group, class, family, church business, group home, or any other organization. Exceptions will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.

The statewide BorrowIT CT program allows state residents who have a current and valid library card, issued by any Connecticut public library, to register their card for borrowing privileges at the Middlebury Public Library. Likewise, your Middlebury Public Library card may be registered at any other Connecticut public library.
