Get help with eBooks:

Enjoy eBooks and eAudiobooks on a computer, tablet or phone with your Schaumburg Library card. We have thousands of titles for adults, children and teens; search our catalog or go directly to your favorite service below.

You'll need your Library card number and PIN to access most of these services and create an account. Your PIN is four digits — the first two digits of your birth month and last two digits of your birth year. If you were born in January 1950, for example, your PIN would be 0150. You can also reset your PIN.
