Somerville Public Library will serve all residents of Morgan County, persons working in Morgan County and others from the surrounding area who are frequently in our county.

1. A patron will be asked to complete a membership application form. A staff member must witness the signature on the application form. If any changes are made in this information, the library must be notified. Proof of identification consists of a picture ID and one other form of proof of current mailing address.
2. A parent or guardian’s signature will be required for persons age 17 and under applying for a library card.
3. Records of patrons with outstanding fines and/or materials not returned will be kept on record.
4. Each person will be responsible for materials checked out on that individual borrower’s card. If a card is lost or stolen it must be reported immediately.
5. A replacement library card will be required at a cost of $3.00 if the card is lost, stolen, or becomes unreadable by the computer.
6. The Librarian may deny service to any person for failure to return borrowed items or refusal to pay fines, for destruction of library property, or objectionable conduct in the library.
7. All circulation records and registration information are confidential and will be surrendered only by a court order.
