With a Library Card you may check out books, audiobooks, DVDs, CDs and magazines free of charge. We have New DVDS which can be rented for 3 days at a cost of $1.00.
How to Get a Library Card
Library cards are free to all Melvindale residents with a current Michigan driver’s license or state ID card.
Children under 18 years of age will need to bring their PARENT or LEGAL GUARDIAN. The PARENT OR GUARDIAN must bring their current Michigan Driver’s license or state ID showing they reside in Melvindale. We cannot accept parents of their friends, neighbors, other relatives, etc. Signing up for a library card is a LEGAL document which must be completed by the PARENT or LEGAL GUARDIAN ONLY in which the adult assumes liability for items lost or damaged by the minor.
