Getting a Library Card
A free Grand Valley Public Library [GVPL] card can be obtained by filling out library card application form. Some proof of your current mailing address must be provided. This can be a driver’s license, utility bill, car registration, state ID, or passport. Patrons under 18 will need a parent or guardian signature to receive a library card.
Account Information
As a GVPL card holder, patrons may check out materials [books, books on CD, magazines, blu-rays, DVDs, video games, e-books, and digital audio books] from any of over 200 participating SEO libraries in the state of Ohio. Information about your account is available by logging into your account through the online catalog, and clicking on the My Account tab.
Requests
Materials may be requested through our online catalog by phone, or in person. The GVPL will notify patrons about requests that are ready for pickup via phone or email.
