Library Use by Adults
All Lawrence County residents/property owners can receive a library card free of charge.
Non-county residents are charged $15.00 for 6 months, $24.00 for a year.
Persons applying for a library card in the Adult Department must be at least 18 years of age.
Library Use by Children and Young Adults
Any child who lives in Lawrence County is entitled to a free library card with the consent of a parent or guardian until the age of 18. Permission to use the Young Adult Department may be obtained by having the parent sign an additional card permitting the child to select materials without restriction, until the child is 13, at which time full permission is granted. At the age of 18, the child's registration is transferred to the Adult Department.
Programs, such as storytimes, are open to all members of the community, regardless of whether or not they have library cards. Some programs may be restricted for certain reasons-- i.e. Honors Programs for summer reading are open to only those who have the qualifications.

Information by Mail
The Information Services staff will do LIMITED genealogical research or requests for obituaries by the mail. The fee for this service is determined by the amount of time needed to perform the search. Information on more than one person can be included in each request.
**You will be billed for the research when the information is sent to you, or you will be notified as to the charge.**
If you use this service, please give as much information about the person(s) that you are searching, such as spouse, dates, location, etc. This helps us to verify that we have the correct person or family. The more information you can provide, the better the chances that we can provide you with the information you need.
If you would like a copy of the obituary, please include your regular mail address. This will help fill your request sooner.
