J.P. Jones, who served in the U.S. Army during World War II, shows off his new Veteran and Armed Forces library card. Thank you, J.P., for your service to our country. A 50-year resident of Arlington Heights, J.P. visits the library regularly and will put the card to good use. Any active-duty military or veteran resident of Arlington Heights is eligible for this new card.
In addition to offering the same benefits as standard resident library cards, this card also allows the cardholder to print up to the cost equivalent of 100 black and white letter pages per week at no charge, and does not accrue overdue fines.
If you already have a library card and you would like to replace it with a new veteran and armed forces card, present one of the following approved forms of ID to the library Checkout Desk:
• Veteran designation on IL Driver’s License
• Active military ID cards
• DD214, DD256, or NGB Form 22
Fees for non-returned or damaged items will still be charged. The Arlington Heights Memorial Library Foundation has donated the funds to print the cards with a U.S. flag design and the words, “thank you for your service.”
If you do not already have a library card, please visit the library and provide your ID with current address, along with one of the above approved forms of ID to receive a new Veteran and Armed Forces library card. Please contact the library with any questions.
