All residents of and visitors to Lake County Public Library are eligible to apply for a Library Card. No card will be denied because of economic, political, racial, religious, social status, sexual preference or orientation.
It is the cardholder’s responsibility to inform the Library when any patron information such as name, address, telephone number or email address changes. Incorrect contact information on file does not relieve the patron from responsibility for overdue or lost library materials.
To obtain a library card, patrons need to provide the following documentation:
