How Do I?

Residents of incorporated Addison can sign up for their library card at no cost at the Guest Services Desk on the 1st Floor. You need a photo ID with your current address. If your photo ID doesn’t have your current address, please bring in an item from the proof of address list

Go to My Account at the top of the page. Enter your library barcode (no spaces) and PIN. Many times, your PIN is the last four digits of your phone number.  

We do an annual address check for Addison residents so you shouldn’t ever have to renew your card! Learn more here.

There is a book return in the Café near the Guest Services Desk. You can also return books any time using the book drops in the drive-up lane on the east side of our building. 

Addison Public Library cardholders can reserve study rooms up to 7 days in advance. Non-cardholders can use the study rooms as a walk-in reservation. Reserve a room here.
