Area residents wishing to get a library number in our system need to come in and fill out a brief form.

We now require two forms of identification with matching addresses.

  • The applicant will need a current Driver’s License and another form of identification with a matching address.
  • This identification can be a letter or another piece of mail that provides proof of an established address.
  • Persons not in possession of a Driver’s License will need to provide some other form of identification which includes a photo and address.
  • A library number will be issued in our system for the patron.
  • The number will be valid for one year, at which time it can be renewed.

  • “Summer” residents will be issued library numbers with proof of their local summer address. Their winter address will also be requested for our records.

Interlibrary Loan

The Library is happy to provide the Interlibrary Loan system for our patrons.  If there is an item we don’t own, we are always happy to try to borrow it from another library for our patron upon request.

Library patrons with a request:

  • Can call in their request to library staff 715-588-7001
  • Send an email to: jwolfe@ldftribe.com
  • Or make the request in person at the library.  Library staff will then put the request into WISCAT.

Patrons are notified by telephone when the item has been received at our library.

Patrons are asked to remember that newer items are usually not available for several months. The availablity of the item will depend on the age, demand, and the number of holdings throughout the state.

There is no charge for our patrons to use this service.

The only cost that could occur, would be for items lost or damaged by the patron.
