Milford Public Library — Students Need A Library Card
News Release
MILFORD — The first day of the 2024-25 school year is Wednesday, Aug. 14. Every student should have a library card. If you go to Milford Elementary, Wawasee Middle School or Wawasee High School, you may have a library card at Milford Public Library. If you are a teacher or support staff in the Wawasee School Corporation, you may have a library card.
The library encourages anyone who does not already have a card to start the school year out right and register for a library card today. Registering for a card only takes a few minutes. Go to the adult circulation desk with a photo ID with your correct address and fill out the application. A few minutes later, you will have a bright, shiny, new library card.
The first 30 days you may check out four items at a time, a combination of books, DVDs and CDs — please, no television series on DVD. You can come back every day and return your four items for four new items. After the first 30 days, you may have 10 DVDs on your card at one time and up to 100 items total. Homeschoolers are invited to get library cards, too. The library can get interlibrary loan books they do not own. Through Evergreen Indiana patrons have access to almost eight million materials. If you can’t find what you are looking for, the friendly, knowledgeable staff is happy to help.
