Library Cards
Your library card connects you to a world of resources and learning. Register for a free card at any library service desk.
Getting a Card
Library cards are free for all Wisconsin residents. Bring a photo ID with your name and current address to any service desk. Residents ages 0-15 will need a parent or guardian present to sign for the card.
If you’re a new resident or your photo ID doesn’t include your current address, please bring additional proof of address such as a bank statement, checkbook, utility bill or other official mail.
Managing Your Card
You can check your account online, including renewing and requesting materials, by visiting the InfoSoup website or through our app. Search “Appleton Public Library” in your app store to download the app. Your library card is valid at any InfoSoup library.
Lost your card? Please call 920-832-6179 immediately to report it lost or stolen. You’re responsible for items checked out on your card.
Text and Email Notifications
Keep up to date with your library account with free text message notifications. You can also sign up for email reminders when you register for a card. We’ll notify you with items ready for pick up, due dates and overdue notices.
Putting Your Card to Work
Once you have a card, check out all the great services available to you for free. Learn about checking out materials, browse the catalog, use online resources, download or stream books and more.
