Get a library card

If you live in the Village of Hinckley or Squaw Grove Township you are eligible for a free library card as part of your tax-supported library service. Just bring in a picture ID that includes your current address. A parent must sign the application card for children aged 5-17.

​

If you live in Pierce or Big Rock Township you may purchase a library card. The annual fee is based on your property taxes so please bring a copy of your tax bill along with your picture ID.

Update as of 5/6/25: Residents of Pierce Township may now claim a free library card thanks to a generous donation from Burr Oak Solar. Stop by with a picture ID and set up your card. You are welcome to use it at whichever library is most convenient for you, but it must be created at the Hinckley library.

Hinckley library cards are honored at most other libraries in Illinois!
