Your Library Card

Who can get a card
All residents, nonresident property owners, students, and employees of Nottoway County of all ages are granted full use of all services of The Nottoway County Public Library. Everyone is welcome to use the services of the Nottoway County Public Library on library property. The Administration reserves the right to determine if nonresidents not covered above may be granted extended privileges.

A replacement library card for a card being lost by a patron or for any other reason that is not deemed to be beyond the control of the patron such as being naturally worn and thus no longer usable, will be charged to the proper patron account at a rate of $1.00 for the first replacement; $2.00 for the second replacement; and $3.00 for the third replacement; thereafter each replacement will cost $5.00.

Library borrowing privileges shall be granted to any individual who qualifies and makes proper application for such privileges. Library patrons are asked to present their library card each time materials are borrowed from the Library.

Proper application for library borrowing privileges includes providing the library with necessary personal information, promising to comply with all library rules, agreeing to pay promptly all fines and damages incurred, and agreeing to give immediate notice of any change of address. Any child at 6 years old or entering the first grade may be granted a library card. All children under age 14 require that a parent or legal custodian of the child makes a proper application and such application is endorsed by the child’s parent or legal custodian.
