September is National Library Card Sign-Up Month. If you don’t yet have a library card with us, we would love to get you signed up. To celebrate, anyone who gets a library card this month will be given a free book tote. Read more about our library cards below.

Is a library card free?

Yes! A library card is free if you live within Burt County or have a Herman, NE address. Anyone outside our service area must pay a $20 yearly fee for a library card.

How do I get a card?

Come to the library with a photo ID with current address. If you are a new resident or have recently moved, please bring a piece of mail with you that shows name and current address.

Can my child have a card?

Yes! But they will need your signature on their card if they are under 14 years of age.

Why should I get a card?

A library card at Tekamah Public Library not only grants you access to everything in our building, but also 25,000+ digital titles on Nebraska OverDrive. All for free!
