Library Renovations
This winter, we’re looking forward to a renovation of portions of our first floor.
News on eBooks from Macmillan
You may have heard that Macmillan Publishers has put some new rules in place for libraries purchasing their eBooks. So how does this impact you?
Get Cookin'
The holiday season is practically here! While you may have some tried and true recipes, it’s also fun to mix it up. (Get it? Cooking … mixing … ) And that’s where our cookbook collection comes in.
We have a whopping 5,881 cookbooks occupying our shelves.
Stream with Kanopy
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.
Looking Back ... and Forward
In order to move forward, it's important to take a look back – and we've had quite the year at the Schaumburg Library!
Readers Advisory
We have a staff of trained librarians here to help you find your next favorite book.
The first floor of the Central Library is the home of our fiction titles, and the librarians who work there are especially good at "readers advisory" – meaning we'll put a novel in your hands that you're going to love.
Board Opening
Be a member of the Library's executive board!
We're looking for applicants to fill a vacated seat, serving a term that runs through May 2021.
Culinary Curiosity
Experience the Culinary Curiosity exhibit, Oct. 4 – Jan. 5 at the Central Library.
Our New Student Trustees
We're happy to welcome Alisa Gandhi back as a Student Advisory Trustee for 2019-20, and say hello to Araha Uday as she joins us!
