RESIDENT LIBRARY CARDS
Full service library cards are available to all Englewood residents upon written proof of residency (e.g. utility bill, driver's license, residential lease). Cards may be used at other Bergen County Cooperative Library System (BCCLS) libraries. Cards are renewed every three years by showing proof of current residency. A child may register for a card whenever a parent or guardian is willing to sign for responsibility.

Englewood Cliffs Patrons have access to all Englewood Public Library materials.  However, we are unable to make interlibrary loan requests from other libraries within the Bergen County Cooperative Library System, BCCLS. The library will take interlibrary loan requests for material available outside BCCLS. These requests will be made through JerseyCat.  To make interlibrary loan requests, please stop by the Reference Desk or requests online using JerseyCat.

Privileges include:

  • Full borrowing, with the ability to directly reserve, through staff or home computers, NYT bestsellers, videos and DVDs and all library materials. Full borrowing from Englewood and all BCCLS libraries.
  • First access to, or registration for, all Library adult, YA and children's programs and special events - many are open only to Englewood Cardholders.
  • Professional Reference service at all times, seven (7) days per week.
  • Interlibrary loan service - our team of Reference Librarians will locate and arrange delivery of desired books and articles. We will use not only the Bergen Libraries database but will search state and nationwide (a fee per item or applicable media rental may be access by the lending institution), if necessary.
