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 are officially fine free!

We’ve put together some FAQs to give you all the details of what it means to be a part of a fine free library.

In addition to the great resources we have available to Schaumburg Library cardholders like Mango and Pronunciator, we'd like to mention some of our favorite free sites for language learning.

We have lots of great online resources available at the Library, and we’ve also compiled a list of websites geared towards kids that will help keep your kids learning.

Of course we have eBooks available, but did you know that we have eAudiobooks, too? Use your Schaumburg Library card to listen!

Want to scan some old family photos for your great aunt who lives hundreds of miles away? Faxing a claim to your insurance company? You can get your tasks done easily with our Simple Scan.

Watch a documentary, catch that Oscar-nominated film you've been meaning to see, or browse for an indie flick – all for free using your Library card and Kanopy!

Kanopy is an online streaming service, meaning what you want to watch is available instantly. Just visit Kanopy's website (or download the app) and use your Library card to create an account.

Meet the characters and stories that make up this very special part of kidsZone at our Central Library, which includes murals and 3D representations of illustrations.

Want to start a book club with your friends but don’t want to ask everyone to pay for a copy of the book? Never sure where to start the discussion in your neighborhood book club?

Don't worry about forgetting to renew your items on time - because we've already taken care of it!

Auto-renewal is here, meaning that we'll automatically renew eligible items for you to help avoid fines.

Looking for an item that's not part of our collection? We'll do our best to find it for you!

Our interlibrary loan service allows Schaumburg Library cardholders to borrow materials from other libraries and have them sent here for easy pickup.

In order to provide another free resource for your family history research, the Library has become a FamilySearch affiliate.

This means access to more digital data when viewing the online records while you're inside any of our three locations.
