Statewide PINES policy requires that you have a valid card with you to check out materials, renew materials, or to pay fines. You may return home to get your card (materials will be held) or purchase a replacement card for $2.00. Photo ID is not accepted in the place of a library card.

PINES library cards must be renewed every two years to remain valid. Renewing the card is an opportunity to check that the information on the card is still correct.
