Library Card Renewal Time

If you have a Rawlins Municipal Library card, it's time to renew it.

Those who live in Pierre and Fort Pierre receive complimentary library cards.

Non-residents library cards cost $35 annually. However, during the month of September, those who live in Hughes or Stanley Counties, but outside of Pierre or Fort Pierre can receive a free card by completing a brief address form. The $35 scholarships are available through a donation made to the library last year by former Pierre resident Clark Stone.

'It take less than five minutes to get a card,' said Library Director Robin Schrupp. 'The card opens up a whole lot of online and hard copy products for our patrons.'

Rawlins Library offers more than 159,000 books, ebooks, digital magazines and other materials for research and entertainment. The library's portfolio of products and services includes, test proctoring, movies, Ancestry.com, and Gale Courses -free online curriculum ranging from accounting to photography to interior design.

Each year, more than 150,000 people visit the library with an average daily count of more than 430 patrons. It also offers programs for readers of all ages, including programs specifically designed for children.
