Who can get a library card, how to apply, and how to use your library card.

The Stacyville Public Library operates as a free service to the citizens of Stacyville and Mitchell County. Services are available free to residents of Iowa through the Open Access program. If you are a resident of Minnesota or another state, you are welcome to apply for a library card with us for a minimal yearly fee.

• To apply for a library card, please apply in person at the circulation desk. Persons age 14 or older requesting a library card shall present a driver's license or other picture ID. Persons age 13 or younger must be accompanied by a parent or guardian with identification when applying for a library card. New patrons shall be allowed to check out a maximum of 2 items at a time for a probationary period of 3 months.
  

• Your library card entitles you to check out books and other materials from the library. Books, magazines and puzzles are checked out for a two-week period. We do not charge fines for overdue books, but do charge for materials that are lost or destroyed. DVDs are checked out for one day and there is a fine of $1 per day for overdue movies. Patrons must pay any fines before they are allowed to check out more materials.

• You may renew, reserve or request materials by phone, at the circulation desk or online by logging on to your account.

Items may be returned to the library during our regular hours or may be placed in the return box by the outside entrance after hours.
