UW Library Card

As a membership benefit, PLATO Members are eligible to receive a UW-Madison Library Courtesy Card.  The Card offers borrowing privileges at all UW-Madison Libraries.

To apply for the Library Courtesy Card:

1. Your PLATO Membership must be paid for the current Membership Year.

   • If you are applying for a Library Card after April 1st, you must first renew your PLATO membership for the coming year.  This is true even if you have not yet received a PLATO renewal notice. Renew your membership by logging in to your member profile, and following the prompts. 

     
     

2. Complete the Library “Community Borrowing Card Application” online: https://www.library.wisc.edu/services/borrow-renew-request/card/

   • Be sure to select “PLATO” at the FIRST drop down question – Affiliation – on the Form.

   • Proof of your PLATO membership status is provided directly to the Library by the PLATO Office.

     
     

3. You will receive email notification directly from Memorial Library when your Library Courtesy Card is ready for pick-up.
   
   
4. Your Library Courtesy Card must be renewed each year.
