If you are a local patron:
You must register with a librarian for a library card. You will need some form of photo ID and proof of local address to present at the circulation desk to sign up for a library card. Local patrons who are residents of Juneau and Marquette County will need to fill out two forms, and your library card will be mailed to you from the Winding Rivers Library System (Juneau County) or Winnefox Library System (Marquette County.)
Cards are issued for immediate use and may be used the same day they are issued for checking out items. Those patrons that are under 18 will need to have a parent or legal guardian complete a permission slip before a card can be issued. Please notify the library if your card is lost or stolen so that we can prevent others from using your card.
Sign Up for a Virtual Card:
To get your virtual library card, fill out a short online form and we'll send you a new library card number via email within 48 hours. You'll have instant access to over 71,000 ebooks and audiobooks through Wisconsin’s Digital Library, as well as our language learning database Transparent Language Online, our new foodie database AtoZ Food America and many more free (with your library card) online resources. You can also visit Overdrive Kids with your library card, which is an easy way to browse all of the kids ebooks and audiobooks! To apply for a virtual card, you must be a Wisconsin resident.
If you are a visiting patron:
Visiting patrons and seasonal patrons can sign up for a temporary library card. You will need some form of photo ID and proof of local address to present at the circulation desk to sign up for a temporary library card. You will also need to commit a $20 deposit, which you will get back minus any late fees or lost items. Patrons can check out two items at one time with a temporary card.
Internet only library cards are available for those who wish to only use our internet services. You will need some form of photo ID to present at the circulation desk to sign up for an internet only library card.
