Most Iowa residents are entitled to a free library card. Proof of current address and a photo I.D. are required. Please visit the circulation desk on the 1st floor to obtain a card.
Patrons of any age who are getting a Library card for the first time, or have been removed from the system and are re-applying for a card, will be considered "NEW USERS" for the first three months of having a card. NEW USERS will be unable to borrow items from the Library of Things and will have a limit of ten items per card. At the end of three months, the account can be renewed and full borrowing privileges will begin at that time.
Children must be at least 3 years old to have a card under their name. Children and teens under the age of 18 must appear with a parent or legal guardian in order to get a card.
A library card must be presented in order to check out materials or use a computer. For the protection of cardholders, we will not check out materials to a person's account unless the card is presented. Replacement cards are $5.00.
