Your Wareham Free Library card provides you access to the world.  It's simple to get a card:

  • Adults may obtain a library card filling out the application form (found below), bringing it into the library and presenting identification such as a driver’s license (or other state issued ID) with your current local address.  If your ID does not have a current address, you may use a bill, mail, or anything showing your current address.
  • Children (ages 5-17) may obtain a card with the signature of a parent or guardian.
