A Lincoln Heritage Public Library Card is free to residents and property owners of Spencer County. It grants access to all materials and services, including public computers and digital resources. Renewing Bi-Annually is FREE. Replacement cards are $2.00. Download our mobile app (Lincoln Heritage PL), and you never need to carry your card. Your digital card can be found in the app and can be use at checkout.

To receive your card, you can submit an online application, print out a physical copy at your convenience to fill out and return, or visit the Dale or Chrisney Branch to fill out a form at the library. Don't forget to bring proof of your current address and a valid photo identification. A parent or guardian signature is required for teens and children under 18.

Submitting an Application Online

Once your online application is submitted a staff member will review your information, then ask you to visit the library to confirm proof of address and present a valid photo ID. Once this process if complete, you will receive your library card.
