Kutztown Community Library is hosting a special passport event in Kutztown on Saturday March 9, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. to provide passport information to U.S. Citizens and to accept passport applications. The Library is joining the Department of State in celebrating Passport Day in the USA, a national passport acceptance and outreach event.

U.S. citizens must present a valid passport book when entering or re-entering the United States by air. U.S. citizens entering the United States from Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean and Bermuda at land borders and sea ports of entry must present a passport book, passport card, or other travel documents approved by the U.S. government. There is a cost.

Information on the cost and how to apply for a U.S. passport is available at travel.state.gov. U.S. citizens may also obtain passport information by phone, in English and Spanish, by calling the National Passport Information Center toll-free at 877-487-2778.
