About the Library

Letter from the Executive Director We’re all familiar with the phrase “good things come to those who wait.”

We often find that to be true here at Schaumburg Library. But never more so than with our Pick-Up Lockers.

We installed Pick-Up Lockers at our Central Library in the summer of 2020. We saw their success and how much you appreciated this 24/7 access to your items, and so we ordered lockers for our Branch locations in October 2020.

Then we waited... and waited... and waited some more. Finally, the lockers were installed in November 2021, more than a year after we ordered them. But now they are here to stay, and you have 24/7 access to items you place on hold from any of our locations. We waited (maybe not always patiently, but we waited) and good things came!

It’s not always easy to wait, but when we do, we get to enjoy so many wonderful things: •

You place books and movies on hold, then eagerly wait for that email to ping in your inbox, letting you know you can check them out.

•

You wait for your Hoopla borrows to refresh each month so you can stream or download another 20 digital items.

•

You tell us your reading preferences then wait to see what our librarians select for your next Library Box.

•

You wait for this Guide to land in your mailbox each season to see what programs are coming up.

We’ve often heard that you’re waiting for us to present more events with bestselling authors. As a founding member of Illinois Libraries Present, we can now do just that! By partnering with other libraries across the state, we’ve already brought you online events with Siliva Moreno-Garcia and Jasmine Guillory. Watch for more to come.

In all your waiting, we hope we’re able to deliver and bring you the good things you hope for.

I’ll see you around the Library!

Annie Miskewitch Executive Director

WORKING FROM HOME FROM THE LIBRARY

NaShantá Fletcher of Hanover Park always liked to draw, but it was hard to find time for it with her full-time job at WGN News.

“While I was on maternity leave with my son, I found myself drawing as a way of journaling,” NaShantá said. “Just little scenes of my son or things I’d seen. One day, my son put drumsticks in my hair, so I drew that.”

With her passion for art reignited, she joined The Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators (SCBWI) and went to an Urban Sketchers Symposium in Chicago. She met other illustrators, like Christina Wald, and they really inspired her. She entered a drawing contest through SCBWI and won! Using the attention from the contest as a springboard, NaShantá got representation from a literary agent.

“When I got the contract to do

the illustrations for two books, I still had a full-time job. I realized I’d be spreading myself thin,” NaShantá said. “Once I decided to go for it, to leave my job and be a full-time freelance illustrator, it was exciting, but also scary.

I thought, ‘I have this dream and here’s the opportunity,’ but also, ‘I have a mortgage,’ you know?

Then I found myself on a tight deadline for the books and thought, ‘Ok, I need to figure this out.’”

And sometimes, the Library is my workspace, which is really nice because I love it here!

So, she packed everything up and headed to the Library. “I’d go to the Hanover Park Branch or come here, to Central. It can be tough to get into a rhythm from home. I try to ignore everything around me, but I can hear my son and my husband and I just wonder, ‘What’s going on downstairs? You guys ok?’”

In the summer of 2021, NaShantá was in the Library, creating the illustrations for Happy and Healthy and Me + You, books based on

songs by Divinty Roxx. She would put on headphones and get to work, researching from her laptop and sketching on her iPad. “Because I was drawing illustrations that were placed over photos, I actually had to do a lot more research than you might think,” NaShantá said.

She explained how on one page, the characters are on a bus and the sun is coming through the windows. “See all the shadows in the photo?” NaShantá flipped to a page in Happy and Healthy.

“I had to understand how placing my characters there would change the shadow. How would it fall across them? I wanted it to look real – so you don’t even realize that they are in a photo.”

“Now, this is my life,” NaShantá said proudly. “And sometimes, the Library is my workspace, which is really nice because I love it here!

Now, when you flip through our books, you’ll find NaShantá’s work, too! Look for Happy and Healthy and Me + You by Divinty Roxx with illustrations by NaShantá Fletcher in our Youth collection.

PRINT FROM YOUR DEVICE Since 2015, you’ve been able to print from your own device within our Library, but back in 2019, we upgraded that service so you can print to our Library from your home.

“We love offering wireless printing to save people time,” said Magan Szwarek, Reference Services Director. “They can send a print job from home, come in within 24 hours, pay for the print and be on their way. No need to log on to one of our computers.”

Our wireless printing is simple to use. Just head to SchaumburgLibrary.org/print, drag and drop the file you want to print, tell us the name of who will pick up the print and you’re set!

“Some people even use it as a drive-up service – we can get your prints to you through our Drive-Up Window at Central or through Curbside Pick-Up at our Branches,” Szwarek added.

“Patrons love wireless printing right away after their first use, and we’re happy to provide this convenient, secure printing option.”

“I’ve spent hours at the library in the children’s section with my son. It’s like being in a live fairytale, for all of us.”
