We've extended our hours at our Central Library!

Starting May 5, we're now open until 7 p.m. on Fridays. (It's still 5 p.m. on Fridays at our Hoffman Estates and Hanover Park branches, though!) Visit our Hours, Locations & Contact page to see a full list of when we're open.

Having trouble finding the right time to grab your books or other items? Try the Pick-Up Lockers at any of our Library locations. Super convenient for those times when your schedule just doesn't fit with ours.

And don't forget that our eLibrary is open 24/7. With more than 300,000 eBooks and eAudiobooks, plus streaming movies, music and TV shows, our eLibrary really does have something for everyone.
