Hodgkins residents need a picture ID and proof of their current address to obtain a library card.  Children of Hodgkins residents, over 5 years of age, may get a card with a parent’s permission.  There is no charge for a resident card.

Non-residents, from communities that do not have their own library, may purchase a Hodgkins Public Library card.  We use the Tax Base Method to calculate the annual price of a non-resident card.  Renters pay 15% of one months rent for a library card that is valid for 1 year.  Home owners may contact the library for the specific cost of library cards for residents of their property.

All Hodgkins Public Library cards are valid for reciprocal use at other participating libraries in the Metropolitan Library System and other Illinois libraries.
