New District 47 Students - Get Your Student Access Cards!

Students who live outside the city of Crystal Lake boundaries can get a Student Access Card from Crystal Lake Public Library if they attend a Crystal Lake Elementary District 47 school. The Student Access Card allows students to check out up to three books or audiobooks at a time and gives them access to library programs and online educational databases.

New kindergarten-8th graders starting at D47 schools for the 2024-2025 school year can apply for a Student Access Card starting Thursday, Aug. 1. Returning 6th-grade students must renew their Student Access Cards this year since they are switching schools. Renewals start on Aug. 1. as well.
