Library Cards

How can I get a library card?

You may obtain a library card by applying in person at the Jane Morgan Memorial Library. You will need to show proof of residency to receive your library card. A valid drivers license or envelope with your current address is sufficient. Children under the age of 16 require the signature of a parent or guardian. Anyone who has completed the 1st grade level is eligible. You may print out this library card application (PDF), fill it out and bring it to the library; however, please wait to sign the application until you are at the library with a staff member.

If I don't live in Cambria, can I still borrow items?

Yes, if you are a resident of a county in the South Central Library System (Columbia, Dane, Green, Sauk, Adams, Wood, and Portage counties) and do not have a library card from your local library, you can apply for a card at the Jane Morgan Memorial Library. If you have a card from another library in the South Central Library System, you can use that card at any of the South Central Library locations

Is there a fee for my library card?

No, your library card is free, however, there is a $1.00 fee for card replacement if lost or damaged.
