The Paulding County Carnegie Library (PCCL) has issued almost 8,000 library cards from 2004-2014. The latest library card features the Jason Borbay (www.borbay.com) painting of the library commissioned in honor of the library’s Centennial to be celebrated in 2016.   Any Paulding County or Ohio resident may be issued a library card at no charge. Parents or legal guardians of minor children (under the age of 17) must sign the application for their minor children. The library encourages emerging and early literacy and invites even the youngest child to get their own library card.   The card is accepted at all library locations.   Proof of address will be required to obtain a card (driver’s license, lease, utility bill, etc.)   If a patron has an older library card and wants to replace it with the new “Borbay” card, they may be required to pay the standard $1.00 replacement card fee.   Library cards which are defective will be replaced at no charge.   The “pink” and the “yellow” library cards will still work system-wide.   Residents of other states other than Ohio will be charged a yearly fifty-dollar ($50) fee. This fee may be waived at the discretion of the Library Director for reasons such as the out-of-state resident owns property and pays property tax in Paulding County.   Anyone may use library resources “in-house” without acquiring a library card.   Library computers are to be used by patrons with a valid PCCL Card in good standing.   Visitors may use the library’s high-speed computers with Internet access but must still read and abide by the library’s Internet Acceptable Use Policy.
