Library cards are issued free of charge to families who live in Elmwood Township. We issue family cards. To sign up for a library card, please bring an ID with a picture and your current address as well as another form of ID with your name and current address (a water or Ameren bill). We will ask you to fill out a form with the names and birth dates of those who live in your home. If you live in Rosefield Twp. the township pays for your family to have a card. There are a few areas that don't qualify for a free card as families don't live in one of these townships (even though their children attend Elmwood District # 322). Our district is not set up to be the same as the school district due to the will that supports the library. If you child attends Elmwood District 322, but you don't live in Elmwood or Rosefield Twp., please let us know when you stop by to sign up for your card and we will share the non resident fee.

The student must present proof of eligibility, as required by statute, at the time of application for this card (a letter from the school). These cards will be eligible until the beginning of the following school year at which time proof of eligibility must be again presented to renew the card. We will issue a family card, so parents must visit with their student & bring the necessary information as stated above.

Please check out our two Little Free Libraries. One is located in Central Park near the bench on the NW corner of the park. The other is near the front door of the elementary school (books are not kept in this library during the summer). Please stop by to take a book, leave a book!!
Little Free Libraries a “take a book, return a book” gathering place where neighbors share their favorite literature and stories. In its most basic form, a Little Free Library is a box full of books where anyone may stop by and pick up a book (or two) and bring back another book to share. You can, too! The library will soon have two Little Free Libraries around town. The first Free Little Library was in Hudson WI in 2010. By 2014 there were around 15,000 around the world!
