OPPL :: Hi Kids!

Don't worry if you can't find what you're looking for! We're here to help.
If we don't own the item, we can ask another library for it.
If the item is checked out, you can PUT IT ON HOLD.

Library cards are available to all Oak Park residents free of charge.

Step 1

At home or at the Library

Apply online (below) or in person at any Oak Park Public Library location. If you apply online please allow 48 hours for the Library to process your online application before proceeding to Step 2.

Step 2

At the Library

Children under the age of 18 must have their parent or guardian sign for their card. Parents and guardians must also present current proof of residency in Oak Park (utility bill, bank statement, or postmarked envelope sent within the last three months; or, state ID, vehicle registration, student driver's permit, or driver's license issued within the last three months).

A card cannot be issued to a child whose parent or guardian has fines or lost items over $15.

Children under the age of 8 getting their first library card will receive a bookmark, sticker, and certificate.

Important

Report lost library cards immediately.
Notify the Library of any change of address. Your library card is not valid if your account address is incorrect or not current.
Oak Park Public Library cards expire after three years. Learn how to renew a library card.
