Note: If you are an out-of-district patron who needs to pay your $65 annual renewal fee, please fill out the form and we will send you a link to pay online. Alternatively, you are welcome to come into the library in person and pay with cash or check. Don't forget, we also offer print and fax services for your convenience!

If you haven't been to the library in a while, come and see all that's new! The Atwood Room, located in the lower level, is ready for you to enjoy. Gather family and friends to work on puzzles, play cards, or enjoy one of our games—or feel free to bring your own. Perhaps you just want to sip a cup of coffee, tea, or cocoa while visiting with friends.

How it works:  

- Anyone can search the holdings.  

- Patrons and staff can place loan requests.  

- Items are transported to your local library.  

In addition, you can find book reviews, tables of contents, and cover art (when available). 

To drive in Illinois, you need your driver’s license or motorcycle classification. The first step is to pass a knowledge test.  We’ve also prepared a variety of practice tests that resemble the official knowledge tests, along with the official handbooks to study.
