My Library Card

  • How can I obtain a library card?

    Come into the library and fill out the yellow card with your information. Bring a photo I.D. It's FREE! If your photo I.D. does not have your correct address you will need a document that shows your name & address {insurance card, bill, lease, checkbook}.

    Library users under 18 will need a parent/guardian signature.

  • Can I get a library card if I live in a different county or state?

    Yes. However, you will also need to bring your county’s library card. After filling out your information you will be able to use your original library card here at the Rachek Kohl Library. Out-of-state cards cost $25/year. Lost cards are $3 to replace.

    *Fees are subject to change.
