Signing up for a library card is easy! We just need a few things:
- Come in person to your local library branch in Stevens Point, Plover, Rosholt, or Almond
- Bring a photo identification (ID)
- If that ID doesn’t show your current Wisconsin address, bring something that does (see below for details)
- Children (ages 0-15) must be registered in-person by their parent(s) or legal guardian(s)
Please note: You may already have a library card you can use here! If you have a valid library card from one of these counties (Adams, Columbia, Dane, Green, Sauk, and Wood), there is a good chance you can use the Portage County Public Library (PCPL) with the same card. Village of Amherst residents will need to obtain a PCPL card, and all of the same requirements apply.
Apply for a library card online:
- Complete the online form.
