Library Cards & Loan Policies

A library card:  your passport to the world of information!

Residents of Wisconsin, ages 6 and up, are invited to register for a library card which entitles cardholders to unlimited access to materials located in 50+ cooperating libraries.  Cards are free, and will be issued to customers who fill out a registration form and provide all required data.  Applicants under age 18 must have a parent or guardian provide their consent and proper identification.

Proper identification includes a driver's license with current address; or, if current address is not displayed, then a supplemental piece of identification is required to establish residency such as a bank statement, a lease or rent agreement with documented name and address, or a utility bill with documented name/address.  If no driver's license is available, other acceptable forms of ID include a state photo ID card or a fishing/hunting license veryifying name and address.

Customers are expected to notify the library in a timely manner with changes in name, address, telephone, cell phone or email.
