Get a Pendleton Community Library Card

Library Cards are Free

Pendleton Community Library cards are free to anyone ages 5 and up living in Fall Creek, Green, or Adams Townships.  You are also eligible to obtain a library card if you pay property taxes in any of these townships.

It is necessary to verify your current address in order to issue a card. 

If you are applying for a new library card, you must show one piece of photo identification, preferably a current Indiana driver’s license or state-issued identification card. If the address information on the driver’s license or identification card is correct, and within the library’s tax district, a library card will be issued. 

If the address on the photo ID is not correct, or if the ID has been issued by another state, you will have to show two alternate forms of secondary identification along with your photo ID.

Patrons who are not able to show a current photo ID at the time of registration will be required to show a current photo ID within six months of their original registration.
