Identification Card

Material may be checked out from the Andersen Library Circulation Desk with a valid UW-Whitewater ID card (HawkCard) or Community Borrower card (friends of the library are also issued Community Borrower Cards). UW System students, faculty, and staff may borrow materials by presenting a valid UW ID card.

UW-Whitewater ID Card (HawkCard)

The UW-Whitewater HawkCard Office in the University Center (office 245) issues valid ID cards to UW-Whitewater students, faculty, staff, and emeriti. When a patron loses his/her card, he/she will have to go to the HawkCard Office to obtain a replacement ID card. A $10.00 fee is charged for a replacement card.

Community Borrower Card (Courtesy Card)

Community Borrower Cards are available for purchase from the Andersen Library Circulation Desk. Wisconsin Residents 18 years or older with a valid Wisconsin driver's license or Wisconsin picture ID (and are not in high school) may purchase a Community Borrower Card for a fee of $2.00 per card. Patrons in elementary, middle, and high school may use their school's Interlibrary Library Loan department to obtain resources from UW-Whitewater's library. Courtesy Borrower Cards are not available to UW-whitewater students, faculty, and staff. A Community Borrower Card is valid for one year from the date of purchase and may be renewed thereafter with no additional charge. A $3.00 fee is charged for a replacement card.

Friends of the Library Card (Courtesy Card)

When a patron becomes a member of the "Friends of the Library", he/she may check out library materials. The current "Friends of the Library" minimum single membership is $25.00 per year. "Friends of the Library" have the same borrowing privileges as "Community Borrowers".
