Reciprocal Borrowers

The Library honors the cards of all Illinois libraries.  Fox Lake Library card holders may also use these libraries:

Reciprocal Libraries

If you have recently moved, and now live in the Fox Lake Library District, you are no longer a reciprocal borrower.

• ​We will issue you a Fox Lake Library card.
• Your old card is no longer valid and must register your Fox Lake card as reciprocal card elsewhere.
• Please bring an accepted form of identification

The Library will also accept paid non-resident cards from other Illinois public libraries participating in reciprocal borrowing programs.

• The full circulating collection of the Library will be available on a reciprocal borrowing basis to patrons of other libraries.
• All reciprocal borrowing use of the Library will be subject to the same rules and regulations as resident patron use.

Reciprocity Limitations:

• Inter-Library Loan requests are available to Fox Lake District resident patrons only. Please contact your home library for more information about Inter-Library Loans.
• New materials are able to be placed on hold by Fox Lake District resident patrons only.

​

Register your Reciprocal Card:

• Visit the main circulation desk on the first floor.
• Bring your photograph ID and library card from your home library.
• There is no charge to register your reciprocal card.
