Indiana Evergreen Library Card Policies
An Evergreen Indiana library card is required in order to check out materials at an Evergreen Indiana Library. Patrons of the Evergreen Indiana Consortium libraries shall receive an Evergreen Indiana library card subject to certain limitations. Evergreen Indiana library cards are not transferable.
Patrons of Indiana public libraries not participating in the Evergreen Indiana Consortium may receive a library card at an Evergreen Indiana library pursuant to reciprocal borrower and other agreements.
