FAQs
Can I use my library card at other libraries?
Only Fraser residents, property owners and students of Fraser schools are eligible to have a Fraser Library card, but Fraser belongs to the Suburban Library Cooperative. Your valid library card can be used at any of the libraries in the system. Clinton-Macomb, Harrison Township and Troy public libraries are on a different computer system.

A Michigan ID with current address, property tax statement, mortgage, or lease agreement with the current address and your own name will be accepted as proof of residency. Students can get a library card with valid student ID for current year, or a valid letter from school administration.
Can I return another library’s book at the Fraser Public Library?

What is a PIN?
The PIN number is a 4 digit number you selected when applying for a library card. It is used along with your library card number when you place books on hold, access your account, renew books, or wish to use the computers. If you do not select it, it will be randomly generated for you. If you would like to change your PIN you must bring your card and valid ID to the library.
