How to Get a Library Card

Joliet Public Library CardAny resident of the city of Joliet may apply for a library card. Children three years old and up may apply for their own library card  with parental consent and signature of responsibility. Parents can apply for individual library cards for each child at their discretion. Parents or legal guardians must sign the library card application for each minor. Applicants must present one current government issued photo ID that verifies their name, AND one PRINTED form of identification that verifies their CURRENT address. P.O. Boxes cannot be used.

If you have one piece of identification that verifies both name and CURRENT address, such as a driver's license, that one piece of identification can be used to get a library card. If you do not, then you must present at least one piece of identification from each list. Nothing handwritten can be used for identification.

You must present one piece of identification from this list:
(Acceptable identification for verification of identity)

  • Valid driver's license
  • Valid state ID
  • Valid passport
  • Valid Mexican Matricula ID Card
AND

One piece of identification from this list:
(Acceptable identification for verification of current address)

  • Valid driver's license
  • Valid state ID
  • Voter's registration card
  • Utility bills
  • Current bills
  • Closing papers for property within the city of Joliet

Non-resident library cards are available for an annual fee. Non-residents who own property within the city limits are asked to present proof of ownership to obtain a card.

Notify the library immediately if your card is lost. You are responsible for all items checked out on that card until the library is notified of its loss. You are also responsible for any items that you allow friends and/or relatives to check out on your card.
