For new patrons, the director or  staff member may ask for the last three (3) months paid bill receipts with a current address displayed on it. (Driver’s licenses will not be accepted.) The patron must then fill out an application card, and a reference should be given of a business person in Marion, or if not known, a reliable person in Marion known to staff. The library shall be free to the use of the residents of the library district, subject always to the rules and regulations as the library board may adopt. The library board may extend the use and privilege of the library to nonresidents of the municipality upon completion of the application process.

The Kansas Library eCard provides access to digital library services available to all Kansas residents regardless of location. Included in the services offered are Universal Classes. Universal Class offers over 500 online courses in more than 30 areas of study. Since Universal Class offers everything from Microsoft Excel to parenting skills, you’ll be sure to find something of interest to learn. These are actual online courses with an instructor, assignments, and lecture materials. Lecture materials can be both text and video. At the end of the course, students with a passing grade will be issued a certificate. Video audit is available on many courses so you can view materials without taking the full class (no certificate for this option).

When does my card expire & how do I renew it?
eCards expire every 3 years. If yours has not yet expired, you will be able to login above and view the expiration date. eCards can be renewed at any Kansas library.

Memorials and honory contributions are intended to serve as a tribute to our loved ones- deceased or living. Funds may be left to the library for a variety of purposes. You can allow the library director and the library board to use the funds as they see fit, or you can create a bequest for a specific purpose. A memorial plate will be placed on the item indicating to whom the item is dedicated. You will be creating something special for your honoree, the library, and the community.  Make checks out to: Marion City Library, 101 Library Street, Marion, KS  66861. Please include the name of the person or persons you wish to honor and any special request, if you have one, for the use of the money, and your name as the donor. 

Those who touch our lives, stay in our hearts forever.
