Renewing Your Library Card

Library cards need to be renewed in person once every three years. You will be notified six (6) weeks before your card is due to expire. When you receive this notification, please come into the library and provide proof of residence in Maplewood. We will then update your card for another three (3) years. We appreciate your cooperation.

Library e-Card Applications

Maplewood Library and the BCCLS Consortium are pleased to offer temporary e-library cards to our new patrons. These cards are good for one month and provide access to all of our econtent. In order to get full borrowing privileges, including access to all print materials, you will need to come into the library before the month is out. Just bring proof of residence in Maplewood, such as a current driver’s license, lease agreement or utility bill, and we will update your card for three years.

Returning Library Materials

Materials may be returned in the book drops at either Hilton Branch or 129 Boyden Ave.
Maplewood Library items are fine-free. Fines may be charged for items belonging to other BCCLS libraries.
Overdue fines and other unpaid charges due to libraries that are not fine-free will be recorded by the computer when your items are checked in.
