Need to Renew Your Card?

If you have had a card within the last three years, you likely do not need a new card but instead need to verify your contact information and renew.  To renew, you may come into any public library in Milwaukee County, or, you may use the form below.

Online Renewal Form   Formulario de Renovación en Línea

No matter how you renew, plan to have two valid forms of ID ready to verify your current address and name. The number of IDs required varies depending on which library you renew with. It’s wise to have one of the IDs include a photo, along with a current document (paper or digital) that verifies your current Milwaukee County address.

Confirming your address every two years, helps our staff insure you receive all notices on library materials.
