How do internet privileges work when it comes to teens and younger children?

April 23, 2015 By

  • If a patron is age 17 and under, then a parent must accompany them to the Circulation Desk in order to get their library card changed to allow internet access.
  • A parent or legal guardian must let the front desk know that it is okay for the juvenile or teen to be allowed access to the computers, and they will sign to give their permission.
  • If a parent has not signed that they give permission, then the person will not be allowed to log into the library’s internet computers.

I have lost my library card and need a replacement. How do I do that, and is there a fee?

April 23, 2015 By

  • The circulation desk can easily make you a replacement card.
  • Be sure to bring your current photo identification with you to the library.
  • The charge for a replacement card is $2.00.

If I don’t live in Washington Township, can I still get a library card? If so, how and where do I get one?

April 23, 2015 By

If you live in Hamilton County:

  • You can use our library as long as you already have a card from your home library, thanks to an agreement between all 5 library systems in the county.
  • You don’t have to get a new card when you visit any of the other libraries in Hamilton county, but you do need to take your home library card and ID with you so that you can be put into each library’s computer system. For more information, read the Reciprocal Borrower Rules and Regulations.

If you do not live in Hamilton County: 

  • The state of Indiana does have a card that allows you to use all of the public libraries in the state. It is called a Public Library Access Card (PLAC).
  • You will need to first obtain a library card in your home district and then purchase a PLAC Card.
  • The annual cost for 2017 is $65.00.
  • The card expires one year from the date of application for the card.

What are the requirements for getting a library card?

November 15, 2014 By

  • 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.
