FULL ACCESS LIBRARY CARDS provide access to borrowing all physical items in the library’s collection and all ebooks and electronic resources paid for by the property tax payers within the Maryville Public Library taxing district (City of Maryville city limits).

Because the library is primarily funded by the property taxpayers of the City of Maryville taxing district, MPL Adult/Family Full Access cards are issued freely to households living or owning property within the City of Maryville property taxing district. To apply, please bring a photo ID and two pieces of mail or other paperwork (lease, checkbook, etc.) that show your current address, or a property tax receipt from the most recent tax year showing your household has paid property tax to the Maryville Public Library. Complete the Borrower’s Agreement/Application below or come in and fill one out at the circulation desk.

For those living outside of the City of Maryville’s taxing district, the same application, photo ID, and proof of address are needed, along with a $68 annual fee that covers all cardholders in the household. That amount is based upon what the library receives in property tax revenue from those living within the City’s taxing district.

For Nodaway County households outside Maryville who are food-stamp eligible, the Friends and Foundation of the Maryville Public Library will cover the fee for a Full Access Library Card.  To apply, please bring in your food stamp (EBT) card along with a photo ID  and proof of current residency.
