Library Card

Getting a Library Card

Individuals must be 5 years or older and provide proof of Texas residency to apply for a free Bonham Public Library card. Children under 18 must have a parent/guardian sign for them. A valid photo ID and proof of current address are required at the time of application.

Cards for Out-of-State Patrons

Out-of-state patrons may obtain a library card for an annual fee of $10 per individual.

New Patrons' Check-Out Limits

New patrons will be on a 90-day probation period. You may only check out 1 DVD, and/or 5 books at a time. After 90 days, if there are no late items and fines/fees, regular check-out rules apply. If during the 90 days an item is returned late, the probation period resets for an additional 90 days, after the item is returned and all fines/fees have been paid.
