Start Placing Your Holds! Fremont Library is preparing to begin curbside pickup of materials June 15 for Fremont cardholders. To be able to pick up materials from the library, you must place holds through the online catalog, chat with us, or call us at 847-566-8702. Library staff are processing new materials 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. Don’t have a current library card? Call or chat with us! We can sign you up remotely and will confirm your information in person once we resume full operations.
