Library Card Information

Ready to fill out application for a free library card? There are some details that will help the process go more smoothly. Please take a minute to review the info below before filling out the form.

• One application form needs to be filled out for each person applying for a library card.
• Use your full legal name (Katherine Anne Smith, not Kate Smith) but you may enter alternates (Kate) in the Preferred Name Box.
• The forms should be used for first-time cardholders only.
• The minimum age for a card is 3.
• Minnesota residents need to pay a $25 annual fee before a library card will be issued. You can pay the fee at the library when picking up the card or at more.lib.wi.us once your PIN is set up.
• If you are under age 16, your mother, father or legal guardian will need to show proof of current residential address at the library before a card will be issued.
• If you are a student, make sure to include BOTH your local residential address and your permanent address (for many students this may be their parents’ address).

A patron who loses their card should notify the library as soon as possible to prevent misuse of the card.
– Lost cards may be replaced at the circulation desk in the library for a $1.00 fee.
