Get a Library Card

You may get a card if you live in the Merrick School District (MUFSD).

Apply in person at the library. Bring two forms of identification. Acceptable identification is defined as follows:
1. A valid driver's license or other identification with a photo and a current residential address;
2. A utility bill, credit card bill, current car registration, insurance card, property tax bill, mortgage statement, bank statement, typed lease, landlord's notarized letter, or school identification. All of the above must have your current Merrick address.

Non-residents who own property in the Merrick School District also may have a library card if they show current identification and a tax bill for the property they own. This library card will be valid for one year.

Patrons whose cards are issued for one year will be asked to verify their qualifying information annually. All other cardholders are required to verify their residency every three years by presenting one form of identification.

Children's library cards will be issued to children who have reached their third birthday. Their parent/guardian must present one form of identification (their library card is acceptable) which shows proof of residence in the school district. Children's library cards have full access to all children's material.

When a patron reaches the 7th grade or age 12, they are entitled to an adult card.
