Cards Library cards are issued at no cost to individuals residing within the corporate limits of the Village
of Clarendon Hills. Two forms of identification showing the patron's name and Clarendon Hills address are required at
the time of application. Examples of acceptable proof of residency include: valid driver's license or state ID, check book,
utility bill, lease, or current tax bill. For children under the age of 18, a parent or legal guardian must present
proof of residency and sign a statement of financial responsibility. Non-Resident
Library Cards It should be noted that not all Clarendon Hills postal addresses are within the corporate limits
of the Village of Clarendon Hills. Patrons who live in unincorporated areas and who do not pay taxes to a library may, in
accord with Illinois Statutes, purchase library service from the closest public library. The required fee covers all members
of the immediate family for the period of one year. Non-resident card holders have full library privileges including reciprocal
borrowing and access to interlibrary loan. The current fee for a Clarendon Hills non-resident card is: $215.00 Loan Periods The Clarendon Hills Public Library circulates materials in a variety of formats including books, magazines, books
