Library Card
Most Iowa residents are eligible for a Menlo Public Library card, including residents of Menlo, Guthrie County, and residents of other communities that participate in the State Library of Iowa Open Access Program. All persons who have established residency within the Menlo City limits and/or Guthrie County will be issued a library card upon application, without fee. All borrowers must be registered and have a valid local or system patron card to borrow library materials. Patrons must fill out an application form to register for a new library card.
Applicants under 14 years of age must have a parent or guardian give their consent on the application form before a new card can be issued. This parental signature is not required for children renewing their cards.
You can apply for a library card in person or online. If you apply online, you will still need to come into the Library to pick up the physical card. At the time of pick up, you will need a valid photo ID and something showing your current mailing address. A driver's license is most common, but you can also use an official letter or bill, voter registration card, car registration, mortgage agreement, lease agreement, or similar.
