Library Cards

Anyone residing in the Oregon Illinois Public Library District that is 6 years of age or older is entitled to his or her own library card. A juvenile application form must be filled out and signed in person by a parent or legal guardian who assumes responsibility for materials checked out by a child. After age 18, a patron should fill out an adult card; they will be considered responsible for the materials they check out. Library cards are valid for a period of three years and can be renewed once expired. Proof of identification and residence must be shown in order to acquire or renew a card. If the card is lost or destroyed before the expiration date, a fee of $1.00 is charged for the replacement card.

Non-resident cards require a copy of a tax bill showing Oregon Illinois Public Library District taxes are not included. A non-resident taxpayer card expires in one year and may be renewed by showing a new tax statement. Non-resident card fees are calculated anew each tax year. The annual fee covers the entire household.

Oregon Community Unit School District 220 has partnered with Mt. Morris Public Library and Oregon Public Library to ensure that all students and faculty of District 220 can get a library card, even if they have not been eligible for one before.

If your child does not have a library card and you would like to apply for one, please fill out the application form linked below and drop it off at the OCUSD 220 office. Your child will receive a library card from your home library depending on where you live. We will schedule a time with you to pick up your library card at your respective library.
