Eligibility and registration for a library card:

A. Resident cards: All persons residing in Richmond Heights, MO are entitled to a resident card. Patrons under 18 years of age must have their applications signed by a parent or legal guardian. It is a parent or legal guardian’s responsibility to monitor their children’s checkouts. In signing a minor child’s card application, a parent or legal guardian must agree to the following statement:

I (printed name) _________________________ am the PARENT___ or LEGAL GUARDIAN___ of the minor child whose name is (printed child’s name) _____________________. I am aware that such child has a library card granting access to the content at Richmond Heights Memorial Library, which may include print or electronic materials of books, periodicals, trade information, websites, or the like and that such information may include both fiction and nonfiction written information and that some sources may include video or other interactive portions of content.

I understand that Library staff, directors, or other official persons affiliated with the Library do not have supervisory duty over my Child and that it is my responsibility to monitor my Child’s behavior and consumption of content, in any and all forms.

I provide consent for my Child to check out content and utilize Library resources.
