Library Board

The Library is governed by a seven member board of trustees in accordance with the powers and duties outlined in Wisconsin Statutes Chapter 43. Board members are appointed by mayor of New Richmond. By law, one of our members is a representative of the New Richmond School District, and another is a representative of the New Richmond City Council. Per Wisconsin statute, we are also allowed to have two representatives who live outside the city limits. Currently, both Library Board President Gordon Granroth and board trustee Jeff Peplau reside outside the city. The duties of the board include evaluating the performance of the Library Director and establishing library policies.

Your Library Card offers a gateway to many opportunities:

MORE Library Catalog combines the collections of 50 public libraries in western Wisconsin.

WISCAT gives you access to the public, academic and special library collections throughout the state. 

BadgerLink is a shared collection of reference tools, including do-it-yourself information, health and consumer information, as well as online magazines and newspapers.

How do I get a Library Card?

Library CardsObtaining a library card is simple. Just stop in and fill out a registration form or print one and fill it out. You must show a picture ID with your current address or other proof of residence with your current address, such as a bill or statement, piece of mail, printed check or anything official that shows your name and current street address. Replacement cards are available for a $1 charge.

If you are under 18, you will need a parent or guardian to show the proper ID and sign a statement of responsibility for you. Account notifications will be sent to the parent/guardian’s phone or email.

Library cards should be updated every year. To update your card, stop in or call Friday Memorial Library at 715.243.0431  and talk to a librarian. You can also email your updates to info@newrichmondlibrary.org. There is no charge for updating. Please notify Friday Memorial Library of any address or phone number or email changes. You can find the date of your last update on your MORE account under your name.

 

Adult Registration Form                            Youth Registration Form

*Please note these forms must be accompanied by a picture ID with current address or other proof of residence to obtain a library card.

 

How Am I Contacted?

ContactWhen requested materials are ready for pick-up, you can be notified by your choice of best method. This is either by phone, by email or by text message.

You will also receive notifications from us if materials are overdue or monthly statements of your account. We do not sell your information or send out excessive notices.

 

 

What are my responsibilities when I check out library materials?

When you get a library card, you sign an agreement to return library materials on time. You also agree to take care of library materials so that they are in good shape for the next user.

 

Can someone else pick up my holds?

There are two ways for a household or family member to pick up your “hold” items at the Circulation Desk:

  1. They may bring your library card with them to the library, or
  2. They may receive your hold items from the staff and have these items checked out on your record without  your library card if they are on record as authorized to pick up your holds.

Here’s how it works…

 

Printable Hold Authorization forms:

Individual                    Family

Please bring completed forms to the front desk at Friday Memorial Library for processing.

Where do I return materials?

You can return materials to any MORE library.

For returns at Friday Memorial Library during open hours, you can return materials to the RETURN slot located in the left side of the front desk.

After hours, you can return materials in the large outside drop box. Do not put DVDs, or music CDs in the large drop box as it can lead to damages that you would be liable for. Please place them in the return slot in the door. Also, make sure all audio CDs and DVDs are accounted for and in their proper cases.

 

Special materials:

Lucky Day books and DVDs: Lucky Day materials must be returned to the owning library either in the outside drop or in the building.

Launchpads: Launchpads must be returned to Friday Memorial Library. To reduce the chance of damage, please return inside the building.

Hotspots: Hotspots must be returned to Friday Memorial Library inside the building.

 

What if I lose or damage materials?

Fines on overdue materials are set by the owning library, and may be collected at any of the MORE libraries. If the material is not returned within the designated loan period, two overdue notices will be sent at 7 and 14 days, followed by a bill at 35 days for the cost of replacement of material and a service charge for processing and cataloging.

Funds received for replacement charges for lost Friday Memorial Library materials will be reimbursed to the patron if the materials are returned in good condition within 60 days of paying the charges. If materials are damaged to the extent determined by the library director that they are unsuitable for the collection, the responsible party must pay the replacement cost.

How much is the late fee?
