Bad libraries build collections, good libraries build services, great libraries build communities.

Your Soddy-Daisy Community Library has been serving our community for 4 years.

Although we started out with just 4 books, we now have over 23,000 items for our community to enjoy. 

We have also, unfortunately, had over $18,000 in theft. Our policies and procedures are developed to minimize this risk, and to protect our investments in our community.

You can fill out the application ---> prior to coming in to speed up the process, but you can not receive a membership until you bring in your driver's license.

If your driver's license information is not 100% accurate you can still become an OUT OF TOWN member (this allows you to visit the library and access events / equipment but you will not be able to check items out).

To begin checking items out, you will need 2 (two) of the following items, in your name, to prove you live in our service area:

• Utility bill (includes power, water, trash, gas) (each item counts as one)
• Bank Statement
• Renter's / Deed Agreement
• Insurance document
• Credit card statement
• Official Post Office Change of Address document

Once you obtain your library card -

• Day one: Apply and agree to our terms of service. You can now check out 2 items.
• Night one: You will receive an automated email confirming your email is accurate. YOU MUST: click Reply to this email, enter ACCEPT in the response area and CLICK send. Once received, your account will be changed from a new patron to limited patron. This allows you to check out 4 items.
• in 2 months - Once you have a history with our library, you can ask to be a standard patron. This allows you to check out up to 10 items. The Standard Patron is not automatic. You must ask for this service and be approved by a volunteer librarian.
