Update Your Child’s Library Card

Has your child's library card expired? Need to update the name or address in your child's account? Complete this form to request an update for a child under 14.

(Only need to update the email address or phone number in your child's account? Do so in the My Settings section of their online account.)

Updates take up to 48 hours to process. (Need the update right away? Call us at (312) 747-4300 whenever the Harold Washington Library Center is open.)

On your next visit to the library, please bring proof of your current address. You'll need to confirm your address before your child can check out any books, DVDs or other physical materials.
