How do you get a "library card" in order to check out items?

Upon presentation of a driver's license or other valid Wisconsin picture I.D. showing a current address, individuals who are 18 years or older may register for a free borrower card. We will take your name, I.D. number, address and phone number to enter into our patron database. We will have you sign a borrower card and laminate it for you. Upon subsequent visits, simply present your borrower card in order to check out additional items.

What else should you know about the library privileges?

Please ask for assistance whenever we can be of help. Library staff members are here to help.
