Residents of incorporated Carol Stream ages 13+ may register online for a 3-month digital resources account by clicking here.
Open a regular long-term account or get a replacement card by visiting the Patron Services desk in the lobby with a current government-issued photo identification. An ID with current address is sufficient for residency verification. If your ID does not display your current address, we'll need one of these documents:
Your Carol Stream Library account will be registered at the following public libraries:
Incorporated resident accounts are automatically renewed every three years (or a minor's 18th birthday) so long as there is no change of address.
Residents under 18 years old may have an individual borrower’s card. The parents/legal guardian of residents under age 18 must sign the minor’s application and provide the required residency verification in person.
Accounts for accountholders under 18 years old will expire on December 31 of the year of their 18th birthday.
When a juvenile account reaches $20 in charges, the borrowing privileges of the responsible party are also blocked until payment is made to bring total under $20.
Non-residents (most often in unincorporated areas with Carol Stream addresses) who are not served by another public library may acquire a library card by paying an annual fee based on property valuation, comparable to the costs paid by residents of the Village of Carol Stream.
Lost or stolen library cards should be reported to the Library immediately to prevent unauthorized use. The cardholder is responsible for all items checked out on their lost or stolen card along with any fines, fees, or damages incurred prior to the date the library is notified.
You may obtain a replacement card at the Patron Services desk in our lobby by presenting a government-issued photo ID.
