To obtain a library card we require a photo ID and formal proof of your current address dated within the past 30 days.  Business mail such as water, electricity or credit card bills, bank statements or residency permits are acceptable forms of proof of address.  Please contact the library if you have any questions about applying for a library card.

Accessing the Library Catalog via the Internet
http://webcat.lcls.lib.il.us

To request or renew materials via the online catalog, you will need your borrower ID and PIN.  The borrower ID is the barcode number on your library card.  Your PIN is the year of your birth (e.g. 1972) or the last four digits of your home phone number.  Your account must be in good standing to process requests and renewals online.  If you have any trouble accessing the catalog, please contact the library during business hours.
