Library FAQs

In general, children can be left unattended in the library if they are able to follow the library code of conduct.  If children want to use library computers, their parent or legal guardian needs to give permission for computer use.  To give permission, parents must come into the library and complete a form.  Our wireless Internet is open access, so if children come into the library with a wireless device, they will be able to access the Internet while at the library without any restrictions.

Yes.  We have free wireless Internet access with no password.  Simply click on Waupun Public Library in your list of available networks.  For information on printing from our wireless network, please visit our Wireless Printing page.

The Waupun Public Library will send faxes at a cost of $1.00 for the first page and $.25 each additional page.  We do not receive faxes for patrons   Due to various factors, staff will not send a fax of 12 pages or more within 30 minutes of closing.  Faxes take an average of 2 minutes per page to send.

Faxes can only be sent single-sided.  Any double-sided documents will need to have the second side copied, which will cost $.10 per copy.  Additionally, fax page size will need to be the standard 8.5 x 11 or smaller; larger documents will need to be copied at $.10 per page to adhere to this sizing.  Pages that are extremely wrinkled, thin or otherwise deemed unlikely to send will also require copying at $.10 per page.

The Waupun Public Library only accepts cash or check as payment methods.
 

Yes.  We order tax forms from the state and federal taxing agencies as soon as orders are being received.  We are only offered the main tax forms, so those are the only ones we will be able to have paper copies for.  We receive tax forms whenever legislation on them has been finalized and printing has completed.  Sometimes we do not receive them until February.  We can re-order forms as supplies deplete until around the end of March.  We keep forms out until supplies last, or late April.

If we do not have a tax form you need, we can assist you with printing from the appropriate website.  Cost is $.10 per page.  We cannot, however, instruct you on which forms you need for filing, nor can we assist with any other tax advice.

For individuals 18 and over, bring in a picture ID with current address; if your picture ID does not have your current address, you will need to also bring in proof of address (examples include a piece of mail or a rental agreement).

For kids under 18, a parent or legal guardian must come in with the child.  The parent must present a picture ID and proof of address.

There is no charge for your first library card; there is a $1.00 replacement charge for a lost card.
