Curbside Pickup

In order to maintain social distancing, the Library is offering contactless, curbside pickup of materials. This service is for Elk Grove Village Public Library cardholders only.

In the event of extreme weather, we may have to temporarily stop curbside service. Please be sure to call the Library at (847) 439-0447 when the weather is questionable.
