Someone who visits the library and or has a library card is referred to as a “patron”. Patrons are eligible for a free library card if they live in Lake Andes and can show proof of a city water bill. A free library card is also given to parents/guardians of students who attend Andes Central. Students who attend Andes Central may also apply for their own library card. Patrons who don’t meet these two qualifications pay a one time fee of $10. Patrons with a library card can check out up to 3 books or magazines for a two week period, or check out 4 DVD’s for a 1 week period. Check out of free passes to the state parks in South Dakota is also a privilege of being a patron with a library card. The Lake Andes Library is also a member of the South Dakota Digital Consortium, by downloading the Libby app which allows you with your library card to check out e-books, or audio books at no cost to you.
