How to Get a Library Card

Anyone can get a Sault Ste. Marie Public Library card by visiting any one of our three library locations. To register you will need to bring with you one piece of photo identification, or two pieces of non-photo identification, showing your name and current address.
A parent or guardian must sign the library card of a child or a student (up to and including grade 6).  The person signing the child’s or student’s library card is responsible for the choice of all materials borrowed by the child as well as the return of all materials borrowed, and pay fines, replacement and processing costs for lost or damaged materials.
All library card holders are expected to be knowledgeable of, and abide by, library rules, regulations and policies.
