Individuals who are residents of Berkeley, with proof of residence, are eligible for a library card. You should bring a current Drivers License with a Berkeley address or a photo ID and one current proof of residence to apply for a card. (Please see Acceptable Identification chart.)

Individuals under the age of eighteen years of age are required to have a parent or guardians signature on their application cards. This signature signifies acceptance of responsibility for the return of, or payment of, all materials. Parents must provide proper Identification.

The patron’s current library card, in good standing, must be presented to obtain materials.

A patron whose card is lost or stolen should immediately report that information to the library. The patron is responsible for materials checked out prior to the card being reported lost or stolen.

Library cards are valid for three years, or until the patron moves from the Village of Berkeley.

Cards will be renewed upon expiration with current proof of address if there are no current charges pending.

Borrowing and internet privileges will be withheld from a patron if fines or charges of more than $5.00 have accrued.
