Ricker Memorial Library & Community House

Library Cards

Getting a library card is easy! Simply visit the front desk and complete a short registration form. The card gives you access to a world of books, CD’s and videos. Free cards are available to Poland residents and those who own property in Poland. Children under the age of 7 are encouraged to use their parents’ cards. People living outside of the town of Poland and not owning property in Poland may get a library card for the entire household for only $15 per year.
