Your Library Card:
       An Alpha Park Library card is issued to any resident living within District boundaries who presents proper identification showing current address. Parental signature is required for patrons under age 14. Card-holders may borrow items from all area libraries, participate in library programs, and make use of library facilities and computers. Persons who live in an area that is not served by a public library, and for whom Alpha Park is the closest library, may purchase a non-resident card. The current charge is $100 per year.
