Residents of Dubuque County who are 18 years or older may register for a library card at the Matthew Jacoby Library.

• Your library card entitles you to borrow up to 10 items (books or DVDs) at a
  time. You may renew your items 1 time for an additional 30 days.
  
• Community members are able to use additional resources onsite including electronic resources (academic databases and movie streaming) and Print Periodicals (Newspapers, Magazines, and Journals).

Let us know when you will be coming to library in person. We can have a card ready for you. If we don’t already have a photo on file, we will request that you send one.
