Get a Library Card

To obtain a library card, you must live in the Antioch Public Library District. Cards are free to district residents but you will need to present one of the following as proof of identification:

Illinois State ID
Student ID

To verify Antioch Public Library District residency, you may also need to present one of the following:

Only a parent or legal guardian may register a child under age 18.

Library cards and the materials checked out on them are the responsibility of the card holder. It is important that you report a lost or stolen card.

When registering for an APLD library card you will automatically be assigned a PIN to use when placing a hold online. By default, this number is the last four digits of your library card number. You may change your PIN by logging on to your library account and clicking “Library PIN” in the menu on the left.
