Get a Library Card

Fill out the application below or visit Manitowoc Public Library to fill one out.  If applying online, your library card will be mailed to your address.  Successful delivery of your library card will serve as your address verification. 

If applying in person, you’ll need to show a current, valid ID with your name and address, such as your driver’s license or state ID. If you don’t have a driver’s license or state ID with your current address, please bring a piece of current ID. It must include your name and address.

Accepted forms of ID include:

  • Personal check
  • Current telephone, gas, electric or cable bill
  • Mail postmarked within 30 days
  • Voter registration card

You must be age 18 years or older to submit this application. If you are under the age of 18, a parent or guardian must apply on your behalf in person at the Library.
