Library Cards

All Essex Junction residents age 5 and older are eligible to receive a library card which entitles individuals to check-out books, magazines, videos, music, and recorded books. In addition, a Brownell Library card can be used to check-out materials at participating HomeCard libraries.

Individuals who live outside of the HomeCard system may receive a library card for use at Brownell. A current library card from the community of residence is required to receive borrowing privileges at Brownell. Short-term library cards may be issued to temporary residents and students.

Most books, magazines, videos, music, and recorded books check-out for 3 weeks
Bestsellers, youth holiday books, Red Clover and DCF nominations for the current year check-out for 2 weeks
