Residents of the Library District may get a Library card by bringing two forms of identification with a current address to the Circulation Desk, where they will be asked to fill out an application. (One photo ID preferred.) Children ages 0-18 must have a parent or legal guardian with them to sign the application in the presence of a staff member. Patrons may use their valid Cary Area Library cards at most other Illinois public libraries. As a member of the Rails Library System, the Library is able to interlibrary loan materials for patrons from over 250 multi-type libraries in the north suburban area.
The Cary Area Public Library District has a collection that includes over 100,000 books, 5,000 DVDs, 2,500 CDs, 2,000 audiobooks (CD and downloadable), 1,000 LARGE TYPE books, 100 children's circulating software titles, over 100 video games (DS, Wii, PS2, PS3) and over 200 periodical titles. 19 Personal Computers and 3 Children's Early Leaning computers (no internet access, games only) are available for use by Library patrons.
