library cards

Your library card is a wonderful thing. You can use it to get books, movies, and computer access at the library. However, there are so many other things you can get with your library card.

1. Stuff from other libraries in the system

Your library card is good at every library in the Bridges Library System. Check-out anything from any Bridges library and most of those items can be even be delivered to Menomonee Falls!

2. Stuff from libraries outside the system

If we can’t find an item at a Bridges library, we may be able to get it for you through Interlibrary Loan. We can search the collections of most libraries in Wisconsin. If it’s out there, we can ask them to send it.

3. Wi-Fi hotspots

Need internet access on the go? Pick up a mobile hotspot from the Library! Our hotspots provide unlimited data for up to 10 devices.

4. Kill-A-Watt meters

How much electricity does your refrigerator use? Use a Kill-A-Watt meter to calculate your electricity usage and the cost of household appliances to understand and reduce your energy bill!

5. eBooks and more

Download eBooks, digital audiobooks and movies from Wisconsin’s Digital Library. The digital library is open 24/7, and there are no late fees! Download the Libby app and read an eBook today.

Or try hoopla! Check out up to four items a month with no waiting. Get your digital movies, music, comics and ebooks from hoopla right now!

6. Digital magazines

Enjoy more than 90 magazines anytime, anywhere. Download and read magazines on your computer or tablet with Flipster!

7. Online classes

The Library offers a wide range of interactive, instructor led courses that you can take online through Gale Courses. As a library cardholder, you can take these courses at no cost! Courses run for six weeks and new sessions begin every month.

8. Online access to Consumer Reports

Your library card won’t get you a new washing machine, but it will get you into ConsumerReports.org. Use their reviews and ratings to find the washing machine of your dreams.

9. Passes to local attractions

Go to Milwaukee Art Museum, Betty Brinn Children’s Museum, or  Mitchell Park Domes for free! And there’s one more pass, but we’re not allowed to talk about it here, Stop by the Lucky Day Shelf in our lobby to see if it’s available. We guarantee you’ll have a wild time.

10. All the things

Tools • Board games • video games • activities • electronics • sensory bags • knitting and crocheting stuff • and more! We’re always adding new things to the Library of Things.

11. 3D Printer

Well, we didn’t become librarians because we were good at math, so here’s an extra bonus thing. Having a library card will also enable you to get trained to use our 3D printer, and any other fancy gizmos we get for our makerspace, The Forge.

Don’t have a card yet?

Apply in person at the circulation desk in the main lobby, or get started online and finish up your registration at the Library.
