Sign up for a card at Fond du Lac Public Library (or replace a lost card) during Library Card Sign-Up Month

A library card isn’t just for checking out books; it’s a ticket to a world of opportunities and knowledge.

Signing up for a free card from the Fond du Lac Public Library opens the door to movies and mobile hotspots, audiobooks and outdoor games, and so much more.

The Fond du Lac Public Library is inviting the community to participate in Library Card Sign-Up Month, a program sponsored each September by the American Library Association.

Lost your card? Receive a free replacement during September.
