A fantastic place for readers, researchers, and anyone looking for a quiet space to work or study. The collection is well-organized, offering a great selection of books, magazines, and digital resources. The staff is knowledgeable and always willing to help. Whether you need a place to focus, access to reliable information, or just a cozy spot to enjoy a good book, this library has you covered.

A really great library! 2 (very large) stories. The first floor is almost ALL children's books! Very helpful librarians that are always nearby for any assistance. Also, they always have activities going on for kids (and also for adults!)

Another little-known service this library provides: 100% FREE faxing and 10¢ copies.

I was researching John B. Turner, the railroad Supt. and Pres. that founded the town of Turner Junction/ West Chicago. After searching everywhere for his middle name I phoned the Adult desk at the library; within several minutes she phoned back; Bice was the middle name. Wonderful to know that even in this impersonal electronic age librarians continue to be as personal and helpful as ever.

Great place for my toddler. They have a large selection of fun toys and tons of books. My 1.5 year old loves going and the library staff are always happy to see him. This place was a life saver during the cold winter months when going outside wasn’t really an option.

This is an excellent library, with friendly and helpful librarians. It is 2 stories, the main (and smaller) level is full of books for younger people, from children to teens. The second floor has all other types of books. If you have kids to bring, there is also a area for them to play. This is an excellent library.

My family loves our trips to the library! It's little gem in our community! There's always something for everyone! DVDs, video games, books, magazines, audio books via overdrive. And the youth services... 1 word... AMAZING! Books for all ages, kits with puzzles and toys, and of course it's the perfect place for the kids to meet other kids and explore puzzles and other toys. The museum pass has given us so many local family outings for little to nothing. From Cantigny to Brookfield, so many local options. We love going as a family with our little one or on our days off to see what's new. As someone who works with kids for a living, I love recommending our local libraries as a place to meet up and hang out. Whether looking for something to do or wanting to find something for you, this place has it all!

Great small library. Helpful and friendly librarians and staff; well organized floor plan and shelving; good variety of books available and easy to find in English and Spanish. Relevant programming, with options available for virtual or in-person, registered or drop-in events.
I love that the children's area is on the ground floor, and the adult and teen sections are upstairs.
