Getting your first library card is free for Hardeman County residents. All you need to bring is a photo ID with your current address. (If your photo ID does not have a correct address, we will accept a piece of mail with the current address.) 

The first time you get a library card, you may check out 2 items. Once you return those 2 items, you may check out up to 25 items! 5 of those items can be movies. 

Books are due two weeks after their checkout date. Movies are due five days after their check out date. You may call once to renew the items over the phone.

We offer several ways to print.

• Emailing your document to bolivarhardemancountylibrary@gmail.com

If our library does not have the book you are looking for, we are able to request interlibrary loans through other libraries in Tennessee. This service is free of charge to library card holders. We will request the book for you. Interlibrary loans typically take 1-2 weeks to arrive. Once it arrives, we will call and let you know it is ready for pickup. 

Yes! We ask that you complete the online application before coming. Once you complete the application, we will reach out to arrange a time for you to volunteer.
