Library of Things

Check out our Library of Things, a collection of unique and nontraditional items to check out. Consider borrowing one instead of purchasing something you may not use very often and help reduce wasted resources.

Technology & Equipment

We’re more than books and movies. We offer lots of technology and equipment to check out, including STEAM Kits, Rokus, and Chromebooks.

Interlibrary Loan

Borrow items from other libraries across Illinois. We’ll have it delivered to our location for your convenience. This is a good option for older titles that have been published for at least a year. 

Get started with an InterLibrary Loan.

Suggest an Item for the Collection

Palatine District cardholders may suggest items for addition to the collection. We can only honor requests for items that are currently available for purchase or pre-order. Member suggestions are considered for purchase by selection librarians.
