In this review, we're focusing on our 2022-23 fiscal year — that's July 2022 through June 2023. This last year, we had occasions to look back and honor our past, and to look ahead and feel excited for our future.
Our Rhyme of the Month Club is a fun way to get little ones excited about reading.
Each month, we’ll visit participating area daycares and preschools with a new rhyme. One of our youth staff members will feature the rhyme in a special storytime and leave a poster for the classroom to share the rhyme together throughout the month.
Summer learning loss is real — but it's not all bad news.
We've extended our hours at our Central Library! Starting May 5, we're now open until 7 p.m. on Fridays.
We're proud to welcome Molly Scheibler as the Library's new deputy director.
Molly Scheibler comes with 14 years of library experience. Most recently, she served as youth services manager at Indian Trails Public Library District in Wheeling. Molly also serves as an adjunct faculty member at University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee's School of Information Studies, and is actively involved in Reach Across Illinois Library Systems, Illinois Library Association and American Library Association.
According to data from School District 54, nearly 60% of families in our community speak a language other than (or in addition to) English at home. To better serve these individuals, we’re proud to offer a new service at all our locations: LanguageLine.
May is Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, so we asked our staff to share books by AAPI authors and movies by AAPI directors. Here's what they had to share.
In 2022, we were able to provide more than $29 million in value to our local business community by offering no-cost services, materials, equipment and more!
To make the best use of our Teen area and in order to offer more evening programs to teens, Teen hours are:
Summer hours, which begin after Memorial Day, are:
Get ready for 2024 with 24 ways to use your Library! We really do offer a little something for everyone, so we hope you'll take advantage of all these fantastic services we offer.
Michele Hedlund of Schaumburg has been coming to Schaumburg Library for many years. She loves reading and particularly likes fantasy and romance books. Michele listens to audiobooks while working around the house and reads a bit just before bed, too.
So what’s so special about Michele and her reading habits, you ask? She does her reading with Libby – the eBook and eAudiobook app.
We recently caught up with Schaumburg High School sophomore Alandee to talk about how she likes to use Brainfuse, a free online tool for homework help, test prep and more.
You may have seen the NPR article making the rounds on social media lately, all about a librarian in Oakland who collects items she has found in books returned to the library where she works. This prompted us to check in with our team and ask: what have we found in books and items returned here at Schaumburg Library?
