Library Cards and Borrowing Materials

Library Cards
Geneva Public Library issues library cards free of charge to all who reside within the Geneva city limits, and/or within the Chelsea, Geneva, Madison, or Stanton townships in Fillmore County.  Library cards expire one year after they are granted, and each year subsequently; and may be renewed with a simple phone call or visit to confirm their contact information.

Those who reside outside of Geneva city limits or in townships not mentioned above may obtain a library card for an annual fee of $20.

If you participate in the NebrasKard program through your home library, you may obtain a Geneva Public Library card free of charge.

Please stop in the library to complete a library card application.

Please bring these items when completing a library card application at the library:
  • Current photo identification.

Children under age 18 must have a parent/guardian signature on their library card application.
