What do you need to get a library card?

If you live in the district of the Pere Marquette District Library which includes the City of Clare, Grant Township (Clare County), Vernon Township (Isabella County), or Wise Township (Isabella County) all you need is your valid drivers license with current address to apply for a library card. If you don't have a valid drivers license, PMDL also expects a valid Michigan ID, or utility bill as proof of address.
