 Your Library Card

    
Individuals who are residents of Glenwood, Lynwood or Ford Heights, with proof of residence, are eligible for a library card. You should bring a current photo ID and one current proof of residence to apply for a card.

    Individuals under the age of 18 years of age are required to have a parent or guardian's signature on their application card. This signature signifies acceptance of responsibility for the return of, or payment of, all materials. Parents must provide proper ID.

    The patron's current library card, in good standing, must be presented to obtain materials. A patron whose card is lost or stolen should immediately report that information to the library. The patron is responsible for materials checked out prior to the card being reported lost or stolen.

    Library cards are valid for three years, or until the patron moves from the library district. Cards will be renewed upon expiration if there are no current charges pending and with current proof of address.
