Picking up books is a bit easier, thanks to Curbside Service. Library patrons who find it difficult to make it into the library have the option to call ahead, reserve titles, have their items checked out and brought to their vehicle when they park in front of the building.  Curbside Delivery is an option that may be useful to patrons having physical difficulties, patrons with young children in car seats, or a need to order ahead for quick pick up. We're all about making library services available and easier for you, so why not call ahead with your library card number and reserve your titles? We’ll let you know when your items will be ready, and bring them out to you. Call 815-472-2581.

The Library accepts used eyeglasses and hearing aids for The Lions Club; printer ink cartridges; and Boxtops for Schools.

Knitting and Crochet classes will resume in the Fall (to be announced).

Plan to join us in the Fall and learn a new skill or have assistance with a troublesome stitch or two. Stop in weekly or as often as your schedule allows. Bring your needles and yarn for a fun time of learning and socializing.

New books may now be viewed in the library's online catalog by clicking the Catalog Tab on this page. Scroll to the "What's New" selection. Select a date range to review a week, a month, etc. The feature allows members to see recent additions or replacement titles in the library collection. The results are color-coded: if the title is currently available for checkout, the background color is green. Otherwise, the background color is red/pink. When logged-in, members may easily place their own reserves from the Reserves Tab. Members may also renew their items for an additional two weeks, if no one is on reserve or waiting for the item.
