Library cards

In order to obtain a library card, a valid picture ID or other proof of residence must be shown. Utility bills, a drivers license, or a printed check are common forms of ID. A Wisconsin Driver's License number is needed when you register. Without a driver's license number, you are limited to a one time check out of two books. Anyone under 16 years of age will need a parent or guardian to show the proper ID and sign a statement of responsibility before a card will be given. The minimum age for a card is 3. Minnesota residents are charged $25 a year for a card.

Lost Cards

A patron who loses their card should notify the library as soon as possible to prevent misuse of the card. A replacement card may be obtained for $1.
