A library card is available free to anyone who lives, works,
owns property, or goes to school in Ohio. Identification that verifies current
address is required. A parent's or guardian's signature is required for
cardholders under age 18.
Cards are honored in any Portage Library Consortium library (any branch
of the Portage County District Library, Kent Free
Library, and Reed Memorial Library). Cards
are not transferable and there is a charge for replacement cards.
All library materials, except Children's Kits,
may be renewed two times, if there are no holds on the items. Materials may be
renewed in person, at a Portage County library, by phone, or
online.
Please call your local PCDL branch library to renew Children's Kits.
