For all new library card applications, two forms of identification with the Patron Name and current Berwyn Address will be required. One form of identification from each column below will be required. Both forms of identification must have the same Berwyn Address. One form of identification from either column, plus your expired Library Card will be required for Renewals. If the patron's expired card is lost or missing, two forms of identification, one from each column below, with the same Patron Name and current Berwyn Address, will be required. Two forms of identification, one from each column below, will be required for any address change. For a replacement barcode, new name label, or any other changes to an existing card, one form of identification from either column, plus your Library Card will be required. The following forms of identification, with the Patron Name and current Berwyn Address, will be accepted:
Column A |
Column B |
Valid Driver's License |
Current Utility Bill |
Valid State ID |
Lease/Mortgage |
 |
Checkbook w/printed address |
|
Current Bank Statement |

Current Auto Registration |

Current Auto Insurance |

Other Federal or State Documents |
For a new library card application, if a patron only has 1 valid form of identification, the library will allow the patron to apply for a card and checkout 2 print items only that day. The library will then mail the card to the patron at their home address. Library cards will not be mailed to a Post Office Box. In the event the mailed card is returned to the library, the patron's card will be stopped, and the patron will be required to show two forms of identification, one from each column above. All library card applications must be filled out in the Library. Children ages 14 and under must have a parent of legal guardian present when filling out a library card application.
Every Berwyn Resident is entitled to One current Berwyn Library Card. If a patron's information changes, such as name, phone number or status (such as Juvenile to Adult), the same card may be updated by furnishing the proper identification as listed above. In the event of a lost or stolen library card, the original card becomes invalid and a new card will be reissued after proper identification is shown and appropriate costs paid.
All delinquencies must be cleared before a library card will be renewed, if expired, or replaced if lost.
