2a: Hartland Public Library Card Holders and Patrons

View the Hartland Public Library Policy Manual here >

Resident Library Cards

The Hartland Public Library issues cards and provides free loan service to any Town of Hartland resident or employee, or Hartland Elementary School student, or staff.  Home delivery is also available for patrons with disabilities, or residents who are unable to leave their homes. 

• Proof of residency includes a valid form of I.D. as well as a current utility bill, piece of mail, or other proof of Hartland address or taxes paid to the Town, such as a tax bill. 
• Town of Hartland library cards expire every two years. Every two years, we will need to update account information for expired cards.   

Library Access for Area Upper Valley Residents

We encourage area residents to opt into the OneCard agreement at their home library, which enables patrons to borrow materials from participating Vermont Upper Valley libraries.

Library Cards for Non-Hartland Residents

Because the Hartland Public Library is funded by town taxes, we sustain services to non-residents through a comparable membership fee. These fees are calculated by local per capita tax support and we have kept them nominal.

• Out-of-town/state borrowers can purchase a $50.00 library card valid for one year.
• Visitors may purchase a 6-month visitor card for $25.00. 
• Non-resident cards expire annually. 
• No residency I.D. or other proof of address is required to obtain a non-resident card.
• Financial assistance to the non-resident fee will be considered by the Library Director.

Service will not be denied on the basis of race, age, values, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, cultural or ethnic background, physical, sensory, cognitive or learning disability, economic status, religious beliefs, or political views. 

Library card privileges can be revoked due to misuse of library materials, building and grounds, negligence in returning materials when due, or failure to make restitution for lost materials.
