Applications for library cards are available at the Check Out Desk or the Information Desk. A form of identification (driver’s license, checkbook, evidence of mail received at current address, or student picture ID) is required before a library card is issued. Applications for children under 16 years of age must have their parent’s or guardian’s signature. Minnesota public library cards are valid at any public library in the state. Iowa residents may purchase a library card for an annual fee of $40.
