Activate your New Lenox Library Card from Anywhere
There are two ways for Library District residents to activate their library card, no matter where you are!
Activate a 30-Day Temporary Card
A staff member will verify your eligibility and email you your card number and PIN so that you can begin using your library online.
Request a Digital Library Card
Activate Your Full Card
Activate your card through the PrairieCat app by sending us a picture of your state-issued Photo ID. All images are safely deleted after confirmation of residence. You can request one in person, too!
