Who can obtain
a library card?
Any individual can apply for a card at the Lester Public
Library. A photo identification card, preferably a Driver's
License, is needed to receive a library card. If it does
not have the current address a tax receipt, utility bill, or
checkbook may be used for verification. You may print out an application
to fill out beforehand or pick one up at the library. (top)
Can
I use my Manitowoc Card at this library?
Yes, we accept Manitowoc, Brillion, Kiel, Chilton, and New
Holstein library cards to check out materials at the Lester
Public Library. A Lester Public Library card may also be
used at these libraries. (top)
I
don't live in Wisconsin, but I'm visiting for a while can I
take out books?
Yes, people from out of state must have a driver's
license with their correct permanent address to apply for a
card. For long term visitors, a local address can also
be added so that pick-up and overdue notices will be sent to
the local address. (top)
I
don't drive and the bills at my apartment do not come to me;
can I get a card?
Yes, if no proof of address can be shown, we will mail the
card to you. When you bring in your card for the first
time we will then activate it. You will not be allowed
to check out materials until the card is activated. (top)
I
am too young to get a license; can I still get a card?
Yes, if you are 17 and under your legal guardian must be
present, have a valid driver's license and be willing to sign
for the card. (top)
Can
you check out items if you don't have your library card with
you?
Yes, but the only other form of ID we will accept is a valid
driver's license. However, we will hold items for up to
three days until you come back with your card. (top)
What if I lose my
card?
When you lose your card please notify the library
immediately! Replacement cards are $2.00. (top)
Can others use my
card?
Yes, but remember, everything checked out on YOUR card is YOUR
responsibility. The library accepts no responsibility to
verify that a patron presenting a card is authorized to use it.

your library card handy because we will ask for the barcode
number. You are allowed one renewal per item however, if
the item is on hold for another patron the item cannot be
renewed. (top)

DVDs are limited to seven per

Once you have reached $10.00 on your card, you will not be
allowed to check out materials or use the computers until the
fines are paid. (top)

return items to another library?
Yes, all items may be returned to the other five libraries in our
system. (top)

Your User ID is the number
on the back of your library card (just the numbers, no
spaces). Your PIN number is the last four digits of your
home phone number. If you've changed phone numbers and
need to update that information, please contact the
Circulation desk at 793-8888. (top)
