Library Cards

All residents of the district who are five (5) years of age or above are eligible for a library card.

To obtain a library card each adult (16 years and older) must provide a photo identification card with the individual’s name and address (a Drivers License, State of Illinois identification card, Firearm Owner’s identification card, School identification card, etc.).   If the address on the photo identification card is not current, a second form of identification must be provided with the individual’s current name and address (a utility bill, checkbook, voter’s registration card, etc.).

For children ages 5-15 a parent or guardian must also sign the application in the presence of a staff member.  The above identification requirements must also be provided.

All card holders should use their Library card to charge out material.  In the event that a card holder does not have their Library card, library staff may check out materials to them upon presentation of a photo identification card.

Each library card holder is responsible for all items borrowed on their card.
