Library Cards

If you live in incorporated Homewood or East Hazel Crest and have never had a Homewood library card, you can use this online form to register for a temporary library number.  This number will give you access to our eResources right away from home and will expire in 14 days.

Visit the library within 14 days to complete the registration process to receive a library card.  Besides access to eResources, your library card will entitle you to reserve and borrow books, dvds, audiobooks, use our computers at no charge, and much more.
