Question 2

What is the age requirement to get a library card?

Accepted Answer

There is no age requirement. For anyone under age 18, the legal guardian should bring their library card in good standing; if they don't have one, we'll get them an account as well. That legal guardian will need to be present in order to sign off as the responsible party.

Question 3

What if I lost my library card?

Accepted Answer

The first replacement card is free while each following replacement is $1. Any fines above $5 will need to be paid. Also, we’ll need to see photo id to find your account.

Question 4

My library card isn’t working. Can you fix it?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it may have expired.  Cards expire every three years so we can verify your basic information. Call 845-246-4317 and we’ll figure it out.

Question 5

I’m not a resident, but I’m visiting and would like a library card. Can I?

Accepted Answer

Yes—we’ll need photo id, proof of your Saugerties address, and a $20 fee.
