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. Proof of current registration or employment is required of WSU borrowers who do not have a "WildCard". 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.
