Getting a Library Card

White Lake Township residents or property owners can receive a free library card with proof of residency or ownership. Minors must have a parent or guardian signature, and applications are completed in person at the Circulation Desk.

Your card also provides access to other TLN member libraries and the statewide MeLCat system.
