You Asked, We Answered!
Question: If I live in Hammond but my child goes to school in Highland can they get a card at your library?
Answer: Yes! They would be eligible for a school card with us. To get this card, go to any of our branches with your driver's license and some form of documentation proving your child's enrollment at the school. This proof can be as simple as a school I.D. dated for this year.
