Cherry Hill Residents
All Cherry Hill residents are entitled to a free membership. Cards are issued for two (2) years.
Children of any age may get a library card at the discretion of their parent or guardian.
- Parents must sign the application if the child is under 14
- Children can sign their own card (if they are able)
Once your Cherry Hill Library card is issued, please bring it with you each time you visit the library. This will allow you to check out materials, use our convenient self-checkout stations, and access public computers and printers. If you don’t have your card, we can look up your information with your photo I.D. such as a driver’s license. If you don’t have your library card or driver’s license you will not be able to check out materials or use the member computers.
