Library Services

You can keep up-to-date with your library account by signing up via Shoutbomb.  Please note that while the Library does not charge a fee to use the Shoutbomb service, your mobile phone service plan standard text messaging rates apply.

There are multiple computers available at both libraries to be used for Internet access. All computers have Microsoft Office installed.

Internet computers may be used for one hour and if no one is waiting, the time may be extended for an additional hour. Anyone with a library card from any Central Illinois library may use the library computers.  Guest passes are available for adults 18 and over who do not have a library card.

Anyone under the age of 18 years must have a parent come into the library to sign an Internet agreement before access is allowed.

Printing is available from the Internet computers at a cost of $0.10 a page for black and white and $0.25 a page for color.

Wireless Internet access is available at the Main and Branch Library locations at no charge.

• There is a self service copier at both the Main and Branch libraries for limited numbers of copies. For large numbers of copies and color copies, originals may be left at the Main Library and the copies will be made for you. Allow up to 3 days. Cost is 10 cents per copy for black and white and 25 cents a page for color copies.
• Laminating service is offered at the Main Library. Items may be left at the Main Library (in the Children’s Department) and will be done by the library staff at a cost of 50 cents a linear foot. Depending on availability, items may not be laminated immediately.
• Fax fees are $1.00 per page to send (international rates are higher).

Residents may register to vote at either library by bringing in two forms of identification; at least one must be a picture ID and at least one must have the current address of the person applying. The completed forms are sent to Tazewell County and voter registration cards will be issued by them.

For your convenience, there is a drive-up window at the Main Library where items that have been placed on hold may be picked up and checked out. Please call ahead so that the library staff has your items available at the window. We would appreciate if you would conduct all other library business by coming into the library to complete your transactions or activities.
