New Library Card Policy
In addition to free cards for residents, the library will offer free library cards to anyone who works in Dover or goes to school (K-12) in Dover. If you are an employee of a Dover business, you must provide a pay stub showing your Dover employer's address. Students must show a student ID or other proof of attendance at a Dover school, such as a tuition invoice. In addition we'll need a photo ID with your current address. Students up to age 12 must register with a parent.
