#FDL: Perks of Your Library Card
It’s library card sign-up month! Apply for your Fondulac District Library card in September and try out a few of our services you may not realize we offer.
Access Digital Content: Hoopla Digital is a streaming service that we offer our patrons. Stream movies like I Kill Giants or watch episodes of The Great British Baking Show. You can also access eBooks for all ages, music albums, audiobooks, and comics. To create an account, each patron needs an email address, library card number, and PIN. Hoopla will prompt you to create a unique password for your account. Get the app to download content to a mobile device for access without mobile data. It’s perfect for travelling. Also check out Axis 360 and Libby, two other library apps you can use to checkout eBooks and eAudiobooks.
Learn a New Language: Mango Languages offers learning activities for more than 70 languages. Anyone with a valid library card can create an account for free. Use Mango within the library or remotely. The website as well as the app facilitate learning through a mix of audio and written instructions.
Check Out Equipment: Did you know that you can check out equipment with your library card like wifi hotspots and Rokus? Click here for more details on the equipment we offer.
Play Games: Gaming at the library can be fun for all ages. We offer a variety of classic and modern board games for checkout. Games for adults can be checked out from the Adult Services Department, and games for children can be checked out from the Youth Services Department. A patron may check out up to 2 games at one time for a 1 week period. Patrons can also play video games at the library. Video gaming systems in the children’s department are for children age 13 and under and adults who accompany them. Gaming systems in Teen Space are for teens age 14 through 19 and adults who accompany them. You need either a library card or a photo ID to play the video games.
