- In order to register, a person must be an adult (18 years of age or older) and present one form of photo identification (driver’s license, ID card, etc.) and proof of address.
- High school students:
- High school students can receive a courtesy card for borrowing books only. They must fill out the High School Student Registration form, and return it with a parent’s or guardian’s signature.

- Fees for printing: Ten cents per page.
- Audiovisual materials: Courtesy Patrons are not allowed to borrow audiovisual equipment or media items.
