The preferred method for use of library resources is for the customer to have their library card in hand. If a customer does not have his/her physical library card in hand, staff may accept a photo ID (state-issued ID card, state-issued driver’s license, military ID, work ID, student ID, or current passport) to allow the check-out of materials or use of public computers.

Public computer classes are available; contact the Public Computer Lab in the Warren Library at (330) 399-8807 ext. 139 or check the website Calendar for current schedule.

There are two alternatives:

1) Grandparents or other caregivers are encouraged to sign up for a card for themselves and then check out items for use by the children in their care.

2) All W-TCPL locations offer a Take2 card for children and teens age 17 or younger without a parental or legal guadian signature. A maximum of two print items may be borrowed on the card. The card may also be used to access online resources and computers. The Take2 card holder must be present to use the card in the library.

Only parents or legal guardians (with appropriate paperwork) can sign up a minor child for a full-service library card. The parent or guardian is considered the only legal representative of the child in the state of Ohio, thus, no other individual can agree to be financially responsible for a minor child’s library account. The library must have legal recourse to be able to recover the value of materials borrowed and not returned. In addition, there are privacy issues mandated by the state of Ohio that the library must follow that protect the rights of juveniles and their legal representative.

Full-service library cards are available to children of any age with parent or legal guardian signature. Parent/guardian must already have a library card or must also sign up for a library card. The child must be present with parent/guardian to begin the card application process.

Library cards are FREE to anyone who lives, works, or goes to school in Ohio.
