Important Library Card Information

  • Library cards are available to all residents of Leighton Township and can be used at any library in the Lakeland Library Cooperative. Library cards for residents of Dorr Township and the Henika District Library may also be issued in-person with verification.
  • Library cards expire every three years and must be renewed in person or over the phone. Verification information will be requested. Until your card is renewed, you will not be able to place a hold, check out an item or use our electronic resources.
  • Non-resident cards are available for a fee of $50.00 per year per household to those who live within the LLC boundaries but in an area not serviced by any other library. This card will only be honored at the Leighton Township Library.

Two Easy Ways To Apply For Your Card

  • Come to the library with your Michigan driver's license or an official piece of mail showing your current address, fill out a registration form at the front desk, and we will make your library card while you wait. Minors must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.
  • NEW ONLINE REGISTRATION: Visit our online portal, fill out the information required, and a library card number will be issued which can be used immediately online. This is for first time registrations only. When you visit the library, verify your ID and receive a physical library card.

Benefits of a Library Card

  • Your card can be used at all 81 libraries in the Lakeland Library Cooperative! It also allows reciprocal borrowing across the state in other public libraries through the Michigan e-Library (MEL). Items may be placed on hold through either system and picked up at the front desk.
  • You have access to many resources such as Literacy Kits, Hotspots, and Library of Things, as well as access to e-services such as Libby, Ancestry.com, Transparent Languages, and more!
