Teachers employed at schools or day care centers located in Morton Grove may apply for a School-Use-Only library card issued by the Morton Grove Public Library. This School-Use-Only card will be issued at the written request of the school principal, director or school librarian on school letterhead. This written request must list the names of all teachers authorized to use the card. Cards will be issued in the name of the teachers listed in the written request and kept on file at the Library, as the privileges extended are for the Morton Grove Public Library only, and not for neighboring suburban libraries. The written request must be re-submitted each year for the renewal of the individual cards. A teacher using a School-Use-Only card will be asked to provide ID before each use of the card.

The School-Use-Only cards may not be used to reserve any Library materials or to place interlibrary loan requests. Materials loaned on this School-Use-Only card will have a teacher loan period of nine weeks with no renewal. Restricted materials for these teacher loans include: books on reserve and feature videos/DVDs; these restricted materials cannot be charged to a School-Use-Only Library card. Other materials may be excluded from teacher-loan eligibility at the discretion of the Head of Youth Services. A list of materials charged to a School-Use-Only card will be provided to the borrower. The items checked out should be checked against this list and the Library notified immediately of any discrepancies; otherwise, the school or day care center will be held responsible for all titles listed. The authorized school or day care official's signature on the written request signifies the school's acknowledgement of financial responsibility for any unreturned materials, damage and/or late fees that are incurred by the teachers authorized as card users on the School-Use-Only Card written request.
