Suggestions for Library near Chicago

Daphne R. • March 27, 2018The clerks and librarians are always friendly and will let you know if other holds that haven't been shelved are available, so you don't have to make a return trip.

Krista O. • December 13, 2011The online hold system is the way to go as items are rarely on the shelves where they are supposed to be.

Richard B. • January 12, 2011One of the nicer community branches. A great place to order your books to. Seems cleaner and less like a halfway-house than other locations.

Giovanna Z. • July 22, 2010No books in Italian :(

Dale J. • October 11, 2021Order your books online and have them shipped here if you live in the area, it works great!

Jennifer • April 24, 2010Drop off your books inside the building if you can. I got hit with an overdue fee even though I dropped my book off on time in the curbside dropbox.

Matt M. • March 28, 2011Don't expect seamless communication with the librarians!

Mr. S. • December 27, 2011Mess with the burly man named Oscar

Jessica H. • March 6, 2010Super friendly Librarian Lady with the glasses and short hair will always greet you with a cheerful smile and answer any questions! And who doesn't love getting first rate DVDs and books for free?!?!

Jeffrey B. • March 17, 2017BEST Study location. Great hours, wifi and a quiet environment.

Jessica R. • July 25, 2013Story time is fantastic. Interactive and a great way to meet other parents!

Loyola University Chicago • October 26, 2011A joint project of the University Libraries and Information Technology Services, the Information Commons is founded on the philosophy of the three C's: Collaboration, Connectivity and Community.

Tom F. • November 28, 2011Wonderful place to sit down with a book and escape from all the hustle and bustle of Chicago.
