Introducing our latest way to encourage reading with the Story Cube!

What's a Story Cube? It's a portable story dispenser for kids, teens and adults. Just wave your hand over the button and out pops a short story or poem on eco-friendly paper (kind of like a super long CVS receipt, except you actually want this one!).

Whether it's the first day of kindergarten, freshman year of college, or just-for-fun learning, we have more than 50 different online resources for you to use as you get ready for the new school year.

Here are just a few to help ease back into the school year.

Get free or discounted admission to cultural attractions like museums, aquariums, zoos and park districts, with your Schaumburg Library card!

Our latest service now available for checkout: laptop kits!

We have 19 kits total — 15 are 13-inch MacBook Pros and 4 are Lenovo T400 ThinkPads. Each kit includes a computer bag, WiFi hotspot and a mouse.

We're now offering eMagazines through our most popular place for eBooks: the Libby app.

You have free, unlimited access to the Wall Street Journal website with your Schaumburg Library card! Learn how.

Looking for a way to skip the line? You’ll love our new self-checks — available now!

Self-checks will be available in the check out area at our Central Library, as well as in the Youth and Reference areas, and at our branches. And they are exactly what they sound like: an easy way for you to check out items yourself.

It’s our newest, contact-less pick-up method: Pick-Up Lockers, available now!

Pick-Up Lockers are located at all three Library locations and give you 24/7, contactless access to items you’ve requested. Just follow this simple 3-step process to use our Pick-Up Lockers.

Homeschooling, eLearning, hybrid model ... this school year is definitely looking different for many families. We're doing our best to help you navigate the change, including offering access to completely free worksheets, lessons, mini-books and more with Scholastic Teachables.

If you're interested in homeschooling, there are resources available to help! We've compiled a list of a few.

We encourage you to challenge yourself to listen, learn and be inspired with these resources, freely available from our collections and other online resources.

We’re excited to announce the launch of Curbside Pick-Up, available now. We know you’re eager to get new Library materials into your hands and we’re glad we can offer a way to safely help you. Just follow this simple 3-step process to use Curbside Pick-Up.
