GET A LIBRARY CARD
Most Iowa residents are eligible for a library card, including residents of Waukee, rural Dallas County, and residents of other communities that participate in the State Library of Iowa Open Access Program. You can apply for a library card in person or online. If you apply online, you will still need to come into the Library to pick up the physical card.
Ages 14 and over: You will need a valid photo ID and something showing your current mailing address. A driver's license is most common, but you can also use an official letter or bill, voter registration card, car registration, mortgage agreement, lease agreement, or similar.
Ages 5-13: You will need a legal guardian with a valid photo ID and proof of current mailing address. Both parties must be present.
