The current DBRL card celebrates the centennial of the Callaway County Public Library.
Anyone living in the DBRL region can obtain a library card. If you live outside of the DBRL region, call the library at (573) 443-3161 or (800) 324-4806.
You cannot get a card online, but you can print out the application form (below), bring it to any library along with proof of your local address (like a driver's license or a piece of mail addressed to you). You can also mail your application to us.
For minors (those under the age of 18), the application must be signed by a parent or guardian. Parents or guardians are responsible for the selection, use, and return of library materials and for the child's access to and use of library computers and the Internet.
If you lose your library card, please let us know immediately so we can assign you a new card number and transfer your record. This protects you in case someone tries to use your lost or stolen card. There is a 50¢ fee for a replacement library card.
You must present your library card to check out books, renew, place holds, have your library record accessed by staff (including over the phone or by e-mail), or use a library computer. We value your right to confidential library records, therefore, we will only release account information to you if you have the card number or can verify your identity as the cardholder. This includes parents wishing to see a child's record.
Your library card "expires" every two years, which gives us a chance to see if your name or contact information has changed. Library staff can renew your card over the phone or at check-out. If at any time your name or address information change, please let us know.
