Applying for a U.S. Passport?

Lilian S. Besore Memorial Library is an official U.S. Passport Acceptance Facility.  Agents at Besore can accept your application, answer any questions you may have and help you better understand the passport process.

What’s a good reason to have Besore Library process your application?  The passport acceptance fee that you pay stays at Besore and is used for new book purchases and programming.  By choosing us, the whole community is benefiting!
