The easiest way to provide identification and prove your residency is with a current driver’s license or a state ID that lists a Sterling Heights address. If you don’t have that, there are other options. You still need a current driver’s license or state ID, even if it’s out-of state. In addition, you will also need one of the following:
These items must show a Sterling Heights address and must be in the name of the person applying.
Anyone under the age of 18 needs to have a parent or legal guardian provide proof of residency as listed above. Both the minor and the adult must be present when submitting the library card application.
The parent or legal guardian must also have less than $25 in library fines.
If you lose your card, you may obtain a replacement for $3. If your card expired due to inactivity, you can get a new card for free. In either case, you must submit a new application.
