The purpose of the mobile library is to bring residents library programming and services, such as activities, book, and wood dale police bike patrol for bike registrations. Upon entry of the building, a white pantry cupboard or named "The Little Food Pantry" to "Take what you need, give while you can." to leave canned or nonperishable items. Patrons have the choice to give donations directly in the unit or a donation basket on top of the of the inside book return. Plus: No one can leave the library dehydrated since complimentary decaf or regular coffee or hot water is provided with sugar, creamer, and Lipton tea bags. Filtered water fountains and 2 sections of bathrooms are present in the library. Another plus: My daughter was entertained for 2 hours and she didn't want to leave! Kids area: 1.) has computer section; with every computer there are 2 headphones. 2.) Melissa & Doug puzzles. 3.) A pretend play kitchen. 4.) 3 kids couches to read books. 3 stars because it is pretty average suburban library experience. I'd probably give another star if we were able to take part in the mobile library experience.

    Ooh, this library is really lovely and seems to be pretty darn new. It's large, airy, and…read moremulti-story. Unlike some libraries with the kids section in the basement, the children's area is on the second floor here. They have a good selection of children's programming, and we were here for Family Story-time. I only learned of this the day that it happened (and it also happened to be the last date of the series) which was a bummer because it was great! I'm really hoping they continue this series next month. It's really kind of a bummer that most libraries have children's programs (particularly for the littlest ones) almost exclusively in the early morning on weekdays, so I was so happy to see this one that although geared toward kids 2+ they specifically state that children of any age are welcome and my on one year old was having a lot of fun. Though the story time took place in one of their meeting rooms, they also have a section on the east side of the floor that has some toys and play space for kids. We didn't get to check that out this time but will in the future. I also picked up some information about a program they're doing with the Forest Preserve District, I think--I love this type of partnership and hopefully we can attend sometime. There's lots of parking around this library, since it's in what might be downtown Des Plaines. I'm sure it's hard to find parking during some times of day and I think the lots around here are a little odd sometimes, but there's surface parking that is good for up 90 minutes which worked well for us. It's right across from the Des Plaines Metra Station as well.

    Hmm, I thought I reviewed this place. Oh well, maybe not, but I sure have utilized it quite a bit…read moreover the 12 years that we have lived in nearby Park Ridge. It's actually closer to our home than the Park Ridge library, and it's a great library. I have mainly used it for movie DVD's and occasionally a book. Years ago, we used to take the kiddos here to putz around and also take an occasional kiddo story-time reading class or what not. They have 4 stories with lots of inventory, and it's a modern and comfortable place to hang out if you wish. All of the staff are also knowledgeable, helpful, and just great. They have their own convenient and covered parking lot also. I used to physically putz around the movie section and search their library from a kiosk. Nowadays, I just go online at home and order up some movies or a book, and after a day or so and an e-mail notice, the items are sitting on a shelf for quick pickup and I waste little time in picking up or returning anything. The other nice thing about their online search is that it will include a search of 7 local libraries for availability of an item and it will be delivered if necessary to the DP library for pick up. So nice! Recently, even with all of the online streaming, Apple TV, etc, some prime movies have not been available (for free anyway) and I have gone back here to pick up some good movies. I usually try to watch the Academy Award winners in the major categories every year, and this year was no exception except that I used the library more this year it seems. Big thumbs up and thank you for your excellent services!

When I was considering this university, people I highly respected (but never attended their program) believed this is a great university. Their ads speak well of them. I had various former students, who graduated in the 1980s & 1990s who told me they could not get employment after graduating in their field of study and had to change careers / get additional training elsewhere. I learned these issues after graduation. The education in engineering is WORTHLESS because they are not ABET accredited school. In other words, employers ONLY HIRE ABET ACCREDITED GRADUATES. The problem was employment after graduation & student loan policies. I finished a Bachelor's Degree in engineering, BS Computer Engineering Technology in 2014. ADTalem Global Education, dba DeVry University, utilizes The Higher Learning Commission.org to procure student loans. DeVry would max out the student's credit for student loans. The tuition cost is based on their ability to get funding. In the first 2 years as a student, I was a cash paying student. I applied for student loans then dropped out. Unknown to me, they were able to get student loans. Instead of returning the unused funds, they increased my tuition / education costs for previous classes that were paid in full. Accounting education fraud. Their billing is so confusing because they are committing fraud. They sell fake health insurance policies. BEWARE

    This is my first term with DeVry University, taking both Advanced Comp (Dr. Schumaker) and Critical…read moreThinking and Prob Solving (Dr. Michalek). I am very impressed with the online system and processes established for online courses. Communications with both professors is flawless and made class much easier to complete and navigate. I really enjoyed this term and only expect to see the same with my upcoming terms. Thank you!
