Woodstock Public Library

To check out library materials at the library, you will need a valid Woodstock Public Library card or a valid library card from the Illinois community where you currently reside.

Any person who resides within the City of Woodstock boundaries and who is 5 years of age or older may get a library card by presenting a picture I.D. and proof of current address (driver’s license, state I.D., personal checks, current utility bill, bank statement, apartment lease, etc.).

Any person living in the Rural Woodstock Library District (within School District 200 but outside Woodstock city limits) has two options for a library card: a free basic service card that allows him or her to check out up to 3 items at a time; or a rural full service fee card that may be purchased for $47/ per family. Each member of the immediate family above the age of 5 may have his or her own library card. This fee card allows full use of all library services including interlibrary loan and borrowing books at other public libraries in Illinois.

Any person under the age of 14 must have a parent’s or guardian’s signature on his or her registration form.

If you do not live in the Woodstock Public Library service boundaries, a valid library card from another tax-supported public library in Illinois will be honored pending verification with that library.

For detailed information about your library card please see "Guidelines & Requirements for Checking Out Materials"  in the About Us/Library Policies section.
