PLEASE NOTE: You must be a tax-paying resident of Barrington (or renter), in order to get a FREE library card. Out of town cards may be obtained, in person, at the library for a fee of $50.00 per year. You must be age 6 or above to get a library card. Your new card will be mailed to you at the address provided below; the first time you use your new card, you will be REQUIRED to show a photo ID (adults) with your Barrington address on it (or a bill/mail sent to that address with your name on it plus photo ID) This must be done within 30 days of receiving the card or the card will become invalid. This is a protection to ensure that our online resources which can be accessed using a card number are not being used by non-residents.

 

 

NH law is such that records of materials checked out may only given be to the card holder; this privacy also extends to children. Parents who do not wish to extend such privacy to their children should simply check out all family items on the parent card. Every person in your family age 6 or above may apply for a card.

 

Out-of Town cards are meant to serve residents of neighboring communities in NH, or, those who visit Barrington for extended periods during summer months but do not own property; they may NOT be purchased by those living out of state who simply wish to gain access to our downloadable audio books via Overdrive. This subscription service is paid for through grants and the consortium fees paid by NH libraries. By contract it is supposed to serve NH residents. If you'd like to see if your state or library offers such a service, please go to: http://search.overdrive.com/ .
