Using the Library
Library cards are free of charge.  Your card allows you to check out books, ebooks, DVDs, and magazines, and login to one of the library computers.     To be eligible for a library card, you must live, work, or attend school in Henry County, Alabama.

If you are under 18, you will need a parent or guardian to come in and apply for you.  Library cards expire one year after the last time your information is updated. Please let us know if any of your contact information changes.

If you are not eligible for a library card, you may still use the library computers with a temporary login number we will provide for you.
