So, I looked it up, and the answer is that "need" is semi-modal and it is the negative form that is "need be".
The explanation is here (look under usage):

"You must be"or you could use "you need to be" as well.

"Need" would be incorrect because it should be "need to".

@glo1234: @Igirisujin: Thank you for your advice.
According to my grammar book, although we normally use need with a to-infinite, we can also use need as if it is a modal verbs for example, No one need feel left out. So, would you teach me the difference? Why can't we use need in that case?

I'm not sure, to be honest.
The full version of "no one need feel left out" would be:
"No one needs to feel left out."
On the other hand, you could say...
"No one need be a member of the library."
That would be fine.
My grammar theory is not good enough to explain why there's a difference.
John needs to be a member
You need to be a member
No one need be a member
Everyone needs to be a member
Doris and Bill need to be members
All need to be members
These are right but I'm not sure why. : )
