Cards for kids and teens
The signature (签名) of a parent is needed for children (aged 13 and under). The parent must also provide a photo ID. Teens (aged 14 to 17) use the process (流程). However, teens who already have their own photo ID can apply without a parent's signature.
Borrowing materials (材料)
A Library Card allows you to borrow 25 things at most. You can keep each borrowed thing for more than 60 days.
If things are not returned in 60 days, you should pay for them. The fine for books and magazines is $1.00 each per day. The fine for CDs and DVDs is $2.00 each per day.
