Membership/Library Cards

ADULTS (Age 18 and over)

It’s quick and easy to get a library card and you can sign up at any library location. We simply need to know who you are and where you live. Please note you may be required to show more than one piece of identification to demonstrate your identity and residence. Customers attempting to obtain a card for a parent, or someone not physically able to visit the library, should contact the Accessible Services office (519.255.6770, Ext. 4404).

YOUNG ADULTS (Age 13-17)

If a young adult wants to have a parent/guardian sign for their card, then both the parent/guardian and the young adult must be present when the card is issued. If a Young Adult cannot show proof of address, the parent/guardian proof of address can be accepted in its place. Please note you may be required to show more than one piece of identification to demonstrate your identity and residence.

CHILDREN (Age 0-12)

For our customers 12 years-of-age and under, a signature is required by a parent/guardian to verify information and confirm parental consent. To have a library card issued for a child, the guardian must show appropriate identification for both the parent/guardian and the child.  More than one piece of ID may be required to verify your identity and residence.

EXISTING ACCOUNT

If an applicant has an existing account with Windsor Public Library, the new card must be linked to that account.
A $2 replacement charge covers the costs involved in reissuing a card. If the old card has expired, all fines owing must be paid before a new card can be issued. All fines must be brought below $20 if the existing card is blocked.
