Start Placing Your Holds!
Adult Online Programs
Fremont Library is preparing to begin curbside pickup of materials June 15. To be able to pick up materials from the library, you must place the hold through the online catalog, chat with us, or call us at 847-566-8702. The library staff have already begun to catalog all of the new items that we had on order since March 17. If you search for items that we do not own and are not showing on-order in the catalog, please chat or call us. We can only check out materials that Fremont owns at this time.
If you would like help discovering what we might have on the shelf, please consult the “Read, Watch & Listen” section of the website. There you will find links to all our new items as well as recommended fiction and non-fiction from the regular stacks.
