Ask A Librarian

How do I...

Get a library card

Library cards can be issued to any resident who is 9 years or older. All library card applicants less than 14 years of age will be asked for the signature of a parent or guardian. Applicants over 14 years of age must provide a valid Photo I.D. and proof of Iowa Residency. There will be a $1.00 charge to replace a lost card.

Find a book drop

Items may be returned during normal hours to the circulation desk. A 24-hour drive-up Book Return is available on the front of the building to the right of the main entrance.

Get email notifications

If you are not already getting notices by email, simply email us, call us, or stop by the circulation desk and we'll update your account.

Access my account

Go to our catalog and click Log On in the top right corner of the page. First time users will enter their patron number (this can be found on your library card) as the username and password. Once successfully logged in you can change this.

Renew and reserve items

To reserve items you can go to our catalog and log in to your account. Email us, call us, or stop in and ask a clerk.

Interlibrary loans

 If a book you are looking for is not available, we may be able to obtain it from another library. Please come in, call, or email us to inquire about using this service.
