Library Cards/ID Cards

The University’s "WildCard" is the official ID for WSU students, faculty and staff. It also serves as the library card for these groups. An offical picture ID and knowledge of W number is required of WSU borrowers who do not have a "WildCard".  Proof of current WSU registration or WSU employment may be verified. Community borrowers may purchase a library card ($15.00 per year) at the Circulation Services Desk. Students, staff and faculty of other Utah academic institutions are granted borrowing privileges upon presentation of current, official ID for their respective institution.
