We’re excited to welcome the Rolling Meadows Library and the Wauconda Area Public Library to our library consortium, a growing network of 34 libraries that share materials. With this addition, we’ll add over 300,000 new items to the catalog—bringing the total collection you can access to more than 5.4 million! Your library card will automatically be registered at Rolling Meadows and Wauconda Area, making it easy for you to visit and explore both libraries.
What to Expect
Services will be limited from Saturday, October 17 through Monday, October 19 as we add these two libraries to our system. Here’s what to expect:
- Checkouts: You can still check out items during this time, but you’ll need your physical library card, so be sure to bring it when you visit!
- Holds: Staff and users will be unable to place holds while the system is unavailable. Place your holds before October 17, or wait until October 20!
- Extended Due Dates: Enjoy a little extra time with your items! All due dates will be automatically extended so that nothing is due during the transition.
- Returns: Items returned between October 17 and October 19 will be checked in after October 20.
- Account Access: Account access will be limited, and account changes can’t be made until October 20.
- Catalog Searching: You can search the online catalog, but results won’t be current. If you’re looking for a specific item, give us a call and we’ll check availability for you.
We appreciate your patience during this brief disruption and are excited for the benefits it brings to our community!
