Hours of service subject to change without notice.

The Library closed Monday, Nov. 16 and will remain closed until further notice to help minimize the spread of COVID-19. Library materials may be checked out online and picked up in the Pick-Up Lockers or from the Drive-Up Window at the Central Library. You may use Curbside Pick-Up at Hoffman Estates and Hanover Park branches.

We put thoughtful consideration into closing our buildings and determined this preventative action to be the best way for us to help minimize the spread of COVID-19. We hope the community will stay home, when possible, and take advantage of the many online services the Library continues to offer, including ebooks, streaming services, online learning, and great online programs for all ages. Additionally, the Library offers free WiFi, which has been extended out to the parking lots in all three Library locations.

One Book, One Community is a time for us all to read the same book, sparking conversations about the book and its themes.

Read the book. Join the conversation. It’s that simple!

Join us this winter, December – February, as we read Room by Emma Donoghue, the bestselling novel that was adapted into an Oscar-winning film. Let’s come together to discuss the book’s themes: community, family ties, isolation and resilience.

Your whole family can join in!

We’ve selected a picture book, a chapter book and a YA novel with themes similar to Room, so kids can also be part of the conversation.

• Ivan, The Remarkable True Story of the Shopping Mall Gorilla by Katherine Applegate – a picture book recommended for ages 5-8

Books will be available for check out in December. A limited number of free copies of Room and our books for young readers will be available on a first come, first served basis beginning Jan. 2 at all Library locations. These special copies of Room have been signed by author Emma Donoghue!

This year’s One Book, One Community titles were chosen because they offer an opportunity for individuals and families to discuss some compelling issues that we’re all facing right now. We hope the themes of community, family ties, isolation and resilience. will resonate with you as we all continue to live with a global pandemic and other issues that challenge us to cope with situations outside of our control, manage feelings of isolation and find new ways to connect with our families and communities.

• The One and Only Ivan by Katherine Applegate – an illustrated chapter book recommended for ages 9-12 • Stolen by Lucy Christopher – a novel recommended for ages 12-19

Candice and Stephen Yamnitz have been living in Schaumburg for 11 years and using Schaumburg Library since before their kids were born.

Candice says she “loves the selection of books and programs” offered by the library.

“We mostly use it to take out books – lots of books,” Candice said. “But pre-COVID, I used the library to meet with my ACFW writing group, and my husband met here with his Toastmaster group.”

In September, the family enjoyed an outing to the Library’s newest StoryWalk at Fabbrini Park, behind MacArthur International Spanish Academy, where they walked the trail and read Dreamers by Yuyi Morales. Candice said they all enjoyed the combination of fresh air, beautiful scenery and a story.

A former teacher, Candice homeschools her children and appreciates

the library’s resources. But for her son and daughter, it’s the play area and holiday parties that shine among the Library’s offerings.

This year, holiday parties may look a little different, but rest assured, the party’s on! See pages 6, 8 and 11 for holiday crafts and an early New Year’s celebration for kids to enjoy from home.

It’s a great place! You have Battle of the Books and I’m in for this year. I love the Warrior series.
