How to get a library card

Patrons applying for or renewing their Library card must show two (2) official pieces of identification. First piece must be official mail dated within the past 60 days showing name and Village address. The second piece needs just a name.

Village residents holding a valid library card are invited to explore the large selection of print resources, audiovisual materials and other services available.
