Digital Library Account
- Carol Stream residents aged 13+ may apply online for a digital-only account for full, immediate use of our digital resources. (To check out physical items, you'll need to visit the Library with address verification documents to sign up for a full-access account.)
- >>> If you think you already have an account but have forgotten the number, please click on My Account and then click "Forgot Card" to answer security questions.
- When you are ready to visit the library for a full-access account, please bring in your Carol Stream residency verification documents to convert your digital-only account to full-access. You can get a library card in the Lobby or at Curbside Pickup.
