Hawkins County Library System

Library Cards:
Library Cards are free to anyone who lives, works, attends school, or owns property in Hawkins County. Non-residents whose library participates in the Tennessee Library Card program and who are in good standing with their home library are also eligible for a library card. You must have a photo ID and proof of your address in order to obtain a library card.

Library Cards are required to check out materials within the Hawkins County Library System. The card holder is responsible for all items borrowed on the card as well as fines, fees, and any other costs associated with recovery of overdue or non-returned items. A parent or guardian must sign a responsibility statement for minors under the age of 16.  A $5.00 replacement fee applies for lost, stolen, or damaged cards.
