The library will be closed Oct. 12-14 in observance of Columbus Day. We reopen Tuesday, Oct. 15.
Your library card opens doors to a world of knowledge and entertainment! With it, you can borrow a variety of materials, including books (fiction, nonfiction, children's, large print, young adult), audiobooks, DVDs, and more.
Remember to present your card at checkout each time you borrow materials.
Your library card is valid for one year and can be renewed annually.
There is a $1 replacement fee for lost cards.
You are responsible for all items checked out on your card, including any fines or fees for lost or damaged materials.
Please note that outstanding fines of $5 or more may result in the suspension of your borrowing privileges, including access to the digital collection.
Residents of Woodward County or any of the following surrounding counties are eligible: Dewey, Ellis, Harper, Major, and Woods.
Photo ID
Proof of your current physical residential address. This can be a personal check, a recent utility bill, or a receipt postmarked within the last 30 days. If your photo ID already includes your current address, the photo ID is sufficient.
There is no minimum age requirement for a child's library card. However, a parent, guardian, or legal caregiver must accompany the child during the application process. You will also need to provide verification of your current physical address, and the parent/guardian will be required to sign the application.
These accounts do not collect overdue library fines.
If you are unable to visit the library in person or are only interested in the library's online collection of eBooks, audiobooks, and more, you can access a digital library.
To qualify, you must be at least 18 years old and reside in Woodward County. Additionally, you will need to provide a valid residential mailing address, email address, phone number, and date of birth.
To register for a digital library card, complete the online application. After our staff processes your application, your Digital Library Card number will be sent to the email address you provided on the registration form and a physical card will be mailed to you. If your address is found to be invalid, you will be asked to apply for a library card in person with proof of address (see above).
Apply for a Digital Library Card
If you have an existing account with the library, you cannot apply for a digital library card. Contact the library to learn how you can obtain your account information.
To obtain a library card, you must present a valid photo ID, proof of your current physical address (as outlined above), and verification of your current employment or affiliation with an educational institution.
If you are not a permanent resident of Woodward County but are staying in the area temporarily, you may qualify for a Temporary Library Card. Applicants must be 18 or older and provide a photo ID along with proof of local employment or a letter from the director of a shelter, rehabilitation center, or community assistance program. Temporary cards are valid for six months, limited to one per household, and allow checkout of up to two books and/or DVDs. Interlibrary loan materials, VOX books, and audiobooks are not allowed for checkout.
