FAQ

You must be a Wixom resident to get a library card. Visit the library to apply in person and bring a state-issued photo ID with your current Wixom address. If you do not have an updated ID, please bring your ID and another document that shows current proof of residency in Wixom (examples of acceptable documents include a utility bill, lease agreement, or a bank statement).

Children and teens under the age of 18 must have a parent or guardian sign their application for a card and present current proof of Wixom residency. Parents or guardians are responsible for materials checked out using their children’s cards.
