Get a Library Card

Library Cards:

Anyone living in the Village of Brandon, Fond du Lac County, or other counties in the Winnefox Library System, may obtain a library card at no cost, unless the user already has a library card from a library in the Winnefox Library System.

There is a charge of $1.00 for replacement of lost cards.

When a new library card is issued, the card is LIMITED to three items total on the card for the first month.  After the probation month is over and there are no overdues or fines on the account, the limit will be lifted.

Exceptions include:

     - Teachers with proof of employment
     -
Family members living in the same house as current cardholders in good standing

Cardholders are held responsible for any items checked out and any fines incurred by the use of their Library Card prior to the card being reported lost or stolen.

Lost or Damaged Materials:

Charges for lost or irreparably damaged items include the cost of replacing the item.

The Brandon Public Library accepts replacement copies for lost or damaged items.

Refunds are only eligible for up to 1 year from the ‘Date Billed’ for LOST items that have been paid for in full. In order to receive a refund, the item and a receipt showing payment in full must be presented. If the receipt is lost, a refund will only be issued if record of payment in full is found in the Library system.
