Library Cards
Everyone is welcome to use the library’s collection in the building. A library card is required to check out material. Residents of the City of Ionia and the following townships qualify for a regular library card: Berlin, Easton, Ionia, North Plains, Orange, Orleans, and Ronald. All or portions of these municipalities are within the library district.
Registering for a library card requires either a valid Michigan Driver’s License or Michigan Identification Card with your current street address. Minors under the age of 18 are required to have a parent or guardian present identification and co-sign for their library card. There is no charge for the first library card.
As a member of the Lakeland Library Cooperative (LLC), the Ionia Community Library honors cards issued by other member libraries. Ionia County residents who do not live in LLC service areas are entitled to a free nonresident card. The library also offers varying levels of fee-based services for nonresidents.
Library cardholders or co-signers are responsible for all materials checked out to that card, and for paying fines and/or replacement costs when accrued. Please notify the library if your library card is lost or has been stolen.
New Ionia Community Library patrons are limited to two items checked out at a time for the first three months. |

The library has a book return available on the front porch. There is also an alternate return for audio or video material. Please return material inside when the library is open. Overdue fines are $.15 per day per item for most material. |
