Mission
To be an essential community hub that provides resource, tools, and assistance.
Who do we serve?
The City of White House sits in two counties: Robertson and Sumner. The White House Library is a city only funded library. We will allow individuals residing in Roberson, Sumner, and the counties adjacent to obtain a library card for free. Individuals residing outside those counties or out of state may apply for a $10 non-resident card which is valid for one year.
Individuals may apply for a library card on-site or on our website. Once the application is submitted, individuals must come into the facility and show proof of address to have their account activated and to receive their card. Both the legal guardians and the child must be present and fill out the proper paperwork to receive a Juvenile library card.
Please reference our policy page for more information.
