Library Temporarily Closing to the Public Until Further Notice (updated January 4)

Due to the unfortunate surge in COVID-19 cases in Suburban Cook County, and in the interest of public health and safety during this holiday season, the Elk Grove Village Public Library, with the approval of the Library Board of Trustees, has decided to temporarily close our building to the public starting Monday, November 23, 2020 until further notice. We are currently offering contact-free services only during this time. This includes curbside pickup, on-demand library programming, virtual services, online resources, streaming services and print from home.

Check back here or visit our social media outlets for more information and updates as we continue to monitor the situation.
