Your Library Card

Residents of the Voorheesville Central School District and many non-residents are eligible for a borrower's card free of charge. When applying, please bring identification verifying your name and your permanent mailing address. Children must be in Kindergarten to apply and their applications up to the age of 14 must be signed by the child and a parent or guardian.

Using Your Library Card
When patrons apply for a card, they may borrow up to 4 items immediately. Once the card is activated, they may borrow as many items as they choose. The card is non-transferable. Please remember to bring it to the library.

Your Account
You may access your account by logging into the library's online catalog. Go to www.voorheesvillelibrary.org and click on the Catalog button. You will need your library card number (all digits with no spaces) and your PIN, which is the last 4 digits of your home phone number to request materials.

Email Address
If your email address is in our database, you can be notified of items on hold or overdue by requesting that service at the circulation desk.

A book drop is located to the left of the main entrance. This may be used anytime. Most items, with the exception of interlibrary loan materials, may be returned to another library.
