You need a card only to check out library materials or to access services from home.ALLENDALE TOWNSHIP, Mich. You do not need a Ridgewood Library card, for example, to visit that library and use its books or other resources while you are there. Anyone is entitled to use the resources at any library while they are in the library building. The card entitles you to all programs, materials and services available at the Ridgewood or Upper Saddle River library, but will not permit interlibrary loan.Ģ. Both Ridgewood and Upper Saddle River Public Libraries provide a family card for $450 per year. I live in Saddle River, which has no public library. Depending on how long ago you lost it, the library may charge you $3-$5 to replace the card. Doesn't it cost a lot of money to replace it?Ī. You can't owe them thousands of dollars unless you took out hundreds of books and brought them all back months late. I'm sure I owe thousands of dollars of fines on it now! I'm terrified to walk into the Library! They might arrest me!Ī. I borrowed a book from the public library once and returned it late, but I never paid the fines. If the book is already paid for, you're free and clear. You don't also have to pay fines for that book. If you lost a book, you have to pay for the cost of the book.


I borrowed a book from the public library once in elementary school and I lost it. If you are a resident of Allendale, Upper Saddle River, or Ho-Ho-Kus, just stop by your local library with a parent and proof of address to get a card.
