You are welcome to apply for a library card in person or online. Both  methods require you to come into the library with your photo  identification and proof of residence in order to obtain a valid library  card. Non-resident fees are waived for all persons employed anywhere  within Alton and Alton Bay, and for any students from neighboring towns,  who attend Prospect Mountain (These courtesy cards become null and void  if you leave your employment or when you graduate from high school).  Alton and Alton Bay property owners and residents have a free, renewable  five-year membership and Summer residents have a free, renewable  two-year membership. Non-residents are charged $20 per year for a yearly  membership.

DO YOU NEED TO RENEW YOUR CARD

Library cards do expire. If you need to renew, simply call the  library and answer a few security questions, and we will be happy to  renew it for you over the phone. You will keep your same account number!

DID YOU LOSE YOUR CARD?

If you misplaced your library card you may still use your library  account. We are happy to look up your number, once we have verified your  identity. If you would like a card reprinted, the replacement fee is  $1.00.
