Applying For a Library Card
At the Circulation Center you may apply for a new card, replace a lost one, or update your current card. Library cards are free of charge to all residents and taxpayers of East Islip, Islip Terrace and Great River. You will need to fill out an application and provide two forms of valid identification, such as a driver's license, car registration, checkbook or current utility bill with your name and mailing address. Children from birth to grade 6 are eligible for their own library cards with the signature of a parent or guardian. Teens from grade 7 to 17 years of age can apply for their own card, but still require parental permission for video and DVD privileges and unrestricted Internet access.
