We are excited for you to sign up for an Explore Card with the
Grafton-Midview Public Library!
Register Here (form currently accessible with PC or iPad only)
If you don’t have an Library card already, the Explore card will give you access to our eCollection including our databases, Overdrive, Kanopy and others. Patrons applying for our Explore Card are not limited on use of our eResources, but Overdrive is limited to 10 items at one time for any type of card.
Once you have registered online, you can choose to come into the library, show valid ID and receive an GMPL card. With your actual card, you can check out materials we have in the building such as board games, video games, books, movies, music and more.
A valid ID is one of the following:
- Driver's License
- State ID
- Military ID
- Minors ages 12-17 may sign up for a card without a parent or guardian, but checkouts are limited.
Minors under the age of 11 may sign up for a card only with a parent or guardian.
All new patrons are limited to 5 items per checkout during the first 45 days. Once that time has passed, the card is automatically updated to allow full access, as per our patron guidelines.
The limits of temporary status are described below:
- 5 total checkouts - a combination of books, magazines, DVDs, CDs, Blu-Rays, and audiobooks.
- Limited to one (1) TV series at one time.
- Limited to one (1) Video Game at one time.
The Customer Service Desk can assist with any questions regarding borrowing privileges.
