Get a Library Card
Ashland residents are encouraged to obtain a library card from the Ashland Public Library. Children must be 5 years old to have their own library card and children under 18 need a parent's signature before the application can be processed. Adults need to show proof of their present address by bringing a valid driver's license or piece of mail. Please call the library if you have questions.

Book Delivery Service
The library offers a book delivery service for people who aren't able to come to the library. If you know someone who just had an operation, someone who doesn't drive, or someone who can't use the library because it's not handicapped accessible, you might tell them to contact the library. Volunteer drivers will deliver library books to them on a regular schedule. This can be a short term (for example, for a broken leg) or a long term arrangement.
