How to Get a Library Card

A Free Library Card is the best way to take advantage of all the services and programs the Library has to offer. Think of it as your connection to ideas, information, inspiration and interaction.

If you live or own property in Minnesota, you can get a Free Library card. Just print out the appropriate application form, fill it out and bring it, along with your current Minnesota Driver's license or state ID. However, if you do not have a current above mentioned photo ID you will need to supply 2 bills with your current mailing address along with your expired/invalid photo ID. Get your Free Library card today and discover what we're all about. Remember, you must have your card with you when checking out materials, picking up reserved materials, or using the Internet.

Children's applications (Ages 3-15) must be filled out by a parent or legal guardian. The parent must bring in the application form along with their ID and proof of address.

Policies for Non-Residents

Reciprocal borrowing privileges are granted to all Minnesota residents. They need to show a current Minnesota ID and proof of address, such as a phone bill or utility bill.

Persons living outside of Minnesota must pay an annual, non-refundable, non-resident fee of $40.00.
