Students

Students who attend any school in Lake County or at Dakota State University can get a FREE Madison Public Library card, no matter where they live.

Non-Resident Card

Libraries are a pre-paid service through taxes. People living outside of Lake County are welcome to join our library for service, but will need to pay a $15 fee for a library card.

Lasso a library card

If you are a Lake County resident, property owner, or student, you are eligible for a FREE Madison Public Library card. To register, applicants may complete the process in writing or verbally, and no additional documentation is required. Applications are available at the Circulation Desk, from a librarian during library programs, or on the Library’s website. Patrons will receive a physical library card in person or by mail at their home address, and no further documentation is needed.
