To obtain a library card, an adult should present a picture ID and a current proof of residency in Oak Park. Children under the age of fourteen must have their parents sign their application for a card and present proof of Oak Park residency.
Library cards are automatically invalid when a patron moves from Oak Park.
Patrons should bring their library card when they come to the Library, and are responsible for all materials checked out on their library cards. Lost or stolen cards should be reported immediately. Children may use their library cards to borrow all circulating materials. The Library does not limit children to specific collections. It is the parents' responsibility to guide their children's borrowing.
