Update of Library Services Beginning Monday, November 23 
In order to do our part to stop the spread of the worsening COVID-19 pandemic and in response to new mitigation requirements from the State of Illinois, we will be offering printing pickup, material browsing, basic reference and check out services only beginning on Monday, November 23.  

  • Public computer use, in-house printing, scanning, faxing and copying at both branches will be unavailable. These restrictions are temporary but will be in effect until further notice. 

  • The Ottawa Street Branch will have a capacity of 185 and the Black Road Branch will have a capacity of 90. 

  • Printing pickup services are available. Email jpbref@jolietlibrary.org with your print job and let us know which location you would like to pick up from. A staff member will contact you when your print job is ready. There will be no fee for this service. There is a 20 page maximum. 

  • We encourage you to keep your visits brief and choose and cruise on through when you are at the library, utilize our pick up windows and access our digital resources and virtual events online.
