Borrowing Materials
The Circulation Department performs a multitude of services
for our patrons. The Circulation Department is responsible for
making library cards, renewing library cards, checking books out
to patrons, placing holds on materials, and accepting returned
materials. The Circulation staff also mails out overdue notices
and collects overdue fines.
Additionally, we provide other free services to our patrons
including voter registration and notary services.
The Circulation Staff is always willing to assist you, either
in person or by telephone. We will happily renew your books over
the phone provided no one else is waiting for the materials. We
will also accept returned library books from other libraries.
The Library participates in a van delivery service that will
return your items to their home library.
Library Card Information
To apply for a Library card, a patron should bring in one
form of identification which has the patron’s name and address
on it. Acceptable forms of identification include: a driver’s
license, state ID, a utility bill, a mortgage statement,
lease agreement, or a voter's registration card. In order to get a library card from the
Glenside Public Library District, a person or family must live
in either Glendale Heights or Glen Ellyn Countryside.
Glenside Public Library card holders may use their cards at
other local libraries. Glenside card holders also have the
option of getting material from other libraries through
Interlibrary Loan. Patrons
from other libraries may use our library and check out materials
provided they possess a library card in good standing from their
home library.
