Registering for a Library Card
We require proof of identity and proof of address.
By signing the borrower's card application, the patron agrees to the
Library's lending policies.
Possession of a library card is implied permission
to use that card. That is, if a family member presents another
family member's card, we assume s/he has permission of the card
owner.
For registration of children younger than the 7th
grade, we require a proof of parent's or guardian's identity and
parents or guardians signature. With this signature the parent
agrees to the responsibility of all fines and replacement costs in
the event the child is not able to meet these responsibilities.
Students who have reached the 7th grade are
eligible for an adult registration. Adult registrations convey that
the card holder is responsible for that card. Proof of
identification is required.
Non-residents may register for a library card at an annual fee of
$20 for 1 year or $10 for 3 months, which may include all family
members. Please see Annual Fee information below.
There is a $1.00 charge to replace a lost card.
First-time borrowers are limited to 5 items on
their first visit. Provided the patron remains in good standing, the
numbers of items borrowed will not be limited on subsequent visits.
Residents
are:
Persons who own property and pay real estate taxes in
Kennebunk, Arundel, Kennebunkport, Wells regardless of
primary domicile; or
Persons who rent residential property in Kennebunk,
Arundel, Kennebunkport, or Wells as their primary
residence. This does not include persons who are seasonal
renters; or
Employees of MSAD #71 or Heartwood College of Art
regardless of residence.
Non-Residents are:
Persons who do not pay real estate taxes in
Kennebunk, Arundel, Kennebunkport, Wells;
Persons who rent property on a seasonal basis e.g.
Campground residents or seasonal beach renters.
All applicants must present proof of residency, owning
property/paying taxes, or renter status. Acceptable proof
includes, but is not limited to, a lease, mortgage bill, tax
bill, utility bill mailed to the address used for residency.
Employees of MSAD #71 or Heartwood College of Art who live in
a non-resident town must present documentation of their
employment/enrollment status. In the case of Heartwood, the college will
send us a yearly faculty list.
The assurance and signature of a parent or guardian will be
accepted as proof of residency for children 6th grade
and under. Non-resident children will be charged the same
non-resident fee as adults.
Family members living in the same residence may elect to
share one card as residents or non-resident (therefore paying
only one fee per family.)
Annual Fee
Non-residents have the option
to purchase a library card membership for 1 year at $20 or 3
months for $10. With the purchase of a library card membership,
patrons will be given all the privileges and responsibilities of
a resident borrowers card.
1-year and 3-months will be calculated as of the date of
registration not a set date. (e.g.. A patron purchases a card on
8/18/04 it will expire on 8/18/05 or 11/18/04 respectively.)
Patrons may not check out materials with an expired
non-resident card.
