A Lawton Public Library card is necessary to borrow library materials. Individuals may apply for a card at either the Main Library, the Branch Library, or online by using this link and click on "SIGN UP" at the top right corner to begin the online application.

If you live or work in Comanche County, your card is free.

Comanche County residents can get a card by providing proof of identity with a government issued photo ID and proof of residency. A current driver's license will suffice for both proof of identity and residency.

Other acceptable ways to prove residency include current (within the last 30 days):

mortgage payment coupon, rent receipt, or lease agreement
utility bill received by mail or electronically
bank statement
payroll check with printed address
printed check
letter received by mail

Don't forget to renew your library card! Your library card needs to be renewed once a year. A valid library card is required for access to electronic databases such as OverDrive and Hoopla.

For more information, see the Library Card Policy or call 580.581.3450 ext. 3.
