CORPORATE CARD

Thank you for your interest in the Brevard County Library Corporate Card program. Corporate Cards are available to daycare centers, schools, group homes, senior citizen centers, businesses, and other approved organizations in Brevard County. Your business or organization may have borrowing privileges for the specific purpose of allowing business, but not personal use, of library materials.

To obtain a card: Write a letter, on your corporate letterhead, signed by the Director of the organization. Include in the letter the name of the person who will be your financial representative. This person must have the authority to sign checks on behalf of the organization. The letter should contain the following statement:

"I hereby authorize the bearer of our Corporate Library Card to check out Brevard County Public Library System materials for our organization and agree that our organization, named _________________ will assume complete financial and other legal responsibilities inherent with the use of this card as detailed on the copy of the Corporate Card Policy Statement, which I have received and read."

Then complete the application. The application must be signed by the director of the organization, who will be the library's contact person. The application and letter may be submitted at any of our locations, or mailed to: Brevard County Libraries, Corporate Card Representative, 219 Indian River Drive, Cocoa, FL 32922

A card will be mailed to you within thirty (30) days. Your organization will be responsible for fees resulting from lost or damaged materials. It is important that you read, understand, and keep on file, the attached Corporate Card policy. If you would like further information, please feel free to call our Corporate Card representative at 633-1840 during office hours (8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.).The card may be used by anyone authorized by your organization. Your organization is responsible for charges incurred for lost, damaged, or overdue materials.
