How to get a library card?

Everything you need to know to get a Briggs District Library card.

Who may get a card?

Cards are free to children and adults who reside or own property in our service area. Our service area includes all of the St. Johns Public School District.   Any student who lives outside the District boundaries, but attends St. Johns Public Schools via the School of Choice program is also eligible for a free library card. Also, all St. Johns Public Schools staff can obtain a library card for free.

*Please bring proof of residency or school connection (such as a valid driver’s license, SJPS student or staff i.d.)

Membership Fee

If a person resides outside of our district boundaries, and does not meet one of the exceptions above, they may obtain a Briggs District Library card by paying a $60.00 Membership Fee.

Get a book through interlibrary loan?

Use these steps below to order an item we do not own from another library.

How to order an item through interlibrary loan

Visit mel.org

If we do not own the item you are looking for, you can try to get it through MeLCat, the statewide interlibrary loan system.

After locating your item in MeLCat, you can request it using your library card number on the back of your library card — be sure to include the letter ‘p’ before the five-digit number (p12345).

Usually, within 7-10 days, your requested item will arrive at our library, and you will be notified by staff when it has been processed and ready for pick up.

Visit MyMeLCat to see what MeLCat materials you currently have checked out, check the status of requests, cancel requests, and renew MeLCat items.
