Library Cards
Resident 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 and 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 the 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 when showing a new tax statement. Non-resident cards are available at $120.00 per year per household.
