Your Library Card

In order to receive an Athena library card, you must...

• be a resident of the Athena area with a 97813 residence zip code (unless otherwise approved),
• be at least six (6) years of age
• complete a library card application at the library.  (A parent  or custodial adult must sign an account application for a minor.) 
• not have any outstanding fines or fees on another Sage library system account.

An Athena library card is accepted at all other Sage system libraries.  If you live in the 97813 Zip Code area and you have a card issued by another Sage system library, please give it to us when you sign up for your Athena account.  We will notify your former library of your change of address so your previous account can be closed. 

LOST CARD:  If your library card becomes lost or unreadable, there is a $3.00 replacement card fee.
