What are the requirements for getting a library card?

The Westfield Public Library is open to all residents and property owners of Westfield-Washington Township (click here for map).
First-time library cards are issued free of charge.
Adults and students 18 years of age and older applying for a library card must show proof of their current address plus photo identification.
Children ages 0-17 must have a parent’s or guardian’s signature on their registration cards. The parent or guardian must have a current library card and/or show proof of address. In addition, the parent or guardian assumes all liability for items checked out by the minor child.
A temporary resident who lives in the library district from one to twelve months, but does not change legal residence, such as foreign exchange students or individuals on temporary job assignments, may be issued a special one-year card.
