Library Cards

The Marshall County Public Library offers three different card types in order to increase access to library services for all members of the local community. The Full-Time Resident Card gives full borrowing privileges and access to all digital services; the Temporary Resident Card allows patrons to check out up to three items at one time and has full access to digital services; and the Digital Access Card provides access to digital services only.

To learn which card is right for you, please see our Library Card Policy.
