What to Expect

Welcome to your newly renovated library!

A tall bookshelf and potted plant on the floor in the foreground frames a large row of windows. People sit at a table against the window, working independently on laptops.


You can browse, place and pick up holds, use a computer, find a comfortable place to sit, use a private study room, enjoy our outdoor courtyards, drop into the BOOMbox or the Studio, and use library at home.

We recommend masks inside the library. Masks are required on the bookmobile.

Physical distancing is encouraged. If you don’t feel well or are waiting for a COVID-19 test result, do not come to the library or the bookmobile and use the library from home instead. 

Please consult the Illinois Department of Public Health website for further guidance on containing the spread of COVID-19. If you need special accommodations, please call 847-673-7774 to discuss the available options.
