It’s in the cards
Libraries encourage folks to ‘get smart’

It’s time to celebrate “the smartest card in your wallet.”
September is national Library Card Month and libraries across the region are hoping area residents will check out their public libraries and get library cards of their own.
“The theme is ‘The Smartest Card in Your Wallet’. Get it, use it. It’s your library,” said Martha Nell Thomas of Glasgow’s Mary Wood Weldon Library.
The timing of the event is perfect for the Metcalfe County Public Library, as the media center is unveiling a fully automated system.
“This is the first time that anyone in Metcalfe County has had a Metcalfe County library card,” said director Rhonda Glass.
The new system features an online card catalog and for the first time, library cards.
“We have had a really good response from the public,” said Glass. “Lots of people have been coming in and getting their library cards. People seem really excited and enthusiastic about the changes. We’re happy to have so much positive feedback.”
The library staff has been taking time to familiarize its patrons with the online card catalog and automation. In the near future, patrons will be able to review their account, renew and reserve books online.
A library card is much like a passport to the world, as it offers endless, free-of-charge possibilities, but each local county has certain criteria that must be met in order to get a card.
In Barren, Hart, Metcalfe, and Monroe counties, anyone wanting a library card must present a valid and current ID.
“Unfortunately, we can’t just take people’s word for it,” said Regina Holland of the William B. Harlan Memorial Library in Monroe County.
If a current driver’s license is not available, a recently paid bill is a suitable alternative.
“Sometimes if people just moved from out of state, their driver’s license is not updated to their new address yet,” said Thomas. “In that case, we will take a recently paid bill with a current address as proof of identification.”
At Glasgow’s library, a three-month temporary card is first issued. With the temporary card, a patron can acquire four items at a time.
At Monroe County’s William B. Harlan Memorial Library, a card is free to county residents.
