Obtaining a Library Card

  • You can fill out a registration form for a library card at any Siouxland Libraries location.
  • Cards are available free to anyone owning or renting property within the city limits of Sioux Falls, or in Minnehaha County outside of the city of Dell Rapids.
  • Nonresidents may borrow materials upon payment of a membership fee. Memberships may be purchased for 3 ($17), 6 ($33), 9 ($45), or 12 ($63) months.
  • You must provide identification and proof of your current address.
  • Children under 18 are required to have a parent's or legal guardian's signature on the registration form.

Library Card Expiration/Renewal

  • To renew your library card, visit any Siouxland Libraries branch. Bring your library card and a photo I.D. All fees will need to be paid before your card is renewed.

  • If your card has expired, you will not be able to check out library materials, log in to My Account, or use the Internet computers in the Library.

Loss/Theft of Card

  • Your library card is like a credit card. Do not lend it, and notify the library immediately if it is lost or stolen. Cards reported as lost or stolen and subsequently found or recovered can be used only after ownership has been verified through presentation of a driver's license or valid I.D. Replacement fee for a new library card is $1.00.

Institutions, Business and School Cards

  • Any institution, business, or school located within the city limits of Sioux Falls or in Minnehaha County, excluding the city of Dell Rapids, may have borrowing privieges.

Confidentiality

  • Your library record is private and information contained in the record cannot be given out to anyone other than the library cardholder.
  • This is in accordance with South Dakota Code 14-2-51: Confidential library records. All public library records containing personally identifiable information are confidential. Any information contained in public library records may not be released except by court order or upon request of a parent of a child who is under eighteen years of age. As used in this section, “personally identifiable” means any information a library maintains that would identify a patron. Acts by library officers or employees in maintaining a check out system are not violations of this section. (Source: SL 1983, ch. 154.1)
