Registering for a Library Card

To check out library materials you will need a library card.

 

 

Here's how you get a card:

1. Come to the Library with proof of residence within Northfield or SE Minnesota

  • I.D., such as Driver's licence OR Student I.D., OR a Resident Identification Card
  • We also accept a bill sent to your address in combination with photo identifcation

2. Fill out an application form at the circulation desk

Your card will generally be accepted at other libraries in MN, but you will have to register your card with these libraries. 

To replace a lost card, we charge a replacement fee of $2.00
