Walk-in library visits are now welcome! We are so grateful to our patrons and staff who have made it possible to safely open our doors. Beginning Mon, Jul 27, Helen Plum Library is ready to welcome visitors without appointments! Some services remain unavailable. COVID-19 is still impacting our daily lives and we continue to follow safety protocols set by the State of Illinois.
Please Note: The Library will monitor capacity and may need to ask for patrons to wait outside the building if we reach our maximum capacity at any time.
Computer Availability
A limited number of computers are available for use. Sessions are limited to forty-five minutes (one session per day).
Computers are available on a walk-in basis, but reduced capacity may mean a short wait. A library card is not needed for computer use, and patrons may call (630) 627-0316 to check on availability prior to their visit.

Patrons and staff are required to wear masks while using the Library.

Staff will be available to assist with checkouts and reference services.
