Drive-Up Window and Book Drop Now Open
Pick Up and Return Items without Leaving Your Vehicle!
One of the features of our Phase III Interior Renovation is a drive-up window, which is now open during regular library hours. Adjacent to the window is the new drive-up book drop, available 24/7.
If you anticipate using the drive-up window regularly to pick up your available holds, we'll need to make a change to your account to reflect your preference. Please call 630-469-0879 x5 and talk to a Circulation staff member. However, if you'd like to use the drive-up window at your convenience, please call the library an hour before you arrive and your available holds will be ready for pick up.
