This is only for people who live in the Cahokia Public Library District service area that do not already have a library card.

This card will only give you access to our digital resources (i.e. Cloud Library), and since it is a temporary card it will expire in 2 months.

After you submit your request, please wait for the confirmation screen. PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU WRITE DOWN THE TEMPORARY CARD NUMBER. If you do not keep the temporary card number, you will not be able to access the digital services.

- For Preferences, select "Phone 1" and choose your carrier for texting.

- Parent/Guardian is not required, so you can either leave it empty or you can type "none."
- The Username must start with a letter.

- The Password should be a 4-digit number. This PIN will be your password for some of the resources, so make sure it's something you'll remember. Type in this same number in the "Verification" field.

- When all information is filled out, submit the form.

Step 6

Once you have submitted your registration form, you will get a confirmation page. You will NOT get an email confirming that the form was submitted. If your page shows the image below, that means you successfully submitted the form.
