"Man, you're quick to get a library card!" says one of the employees as I tell her that I've been…read morehere three times since I moved to Roselle a week-ish ago. Yep. I FREAKIN' LOVE LIBRARIES! It keeps me from having to spend money on book/DVD/music entertainment and cluttering up my shelves with things I'll only use once or twice. Plus, the smell of books within a beautiful brick building really does something for me (man, if only my husband and I could have a romp in the stacks). So, a library that gives you a free book when you sign up for a card? SWEET! When I signed up for a card a few days after I moved here, I received a copy of "Rocket Boys" (the book that inspired 'October Sky') along with a brochure highlighting all the library events in October (and man, there's a ton of them!). This may be the first library where I've actually paid attention to the free events they offer. And they gave me a book I'd actually be interested in reading at some point. Major props for that. Roselle's library is a bit on the small side, with a smaller selection than I'm used to, but at least they have the basics -- books, DVDs, CDs, magazines, whatnot -- and a nice youth section upstairs. All the people that work here are very personable and made me feel right at home. This is the perfect library for a sweet little town.

I enjoyed my visit to this library with my sister. The kids' zone is such a cozy and fun space,…read morebright, and colorful. All details that make it feel special for children. You can tell it was designed with families in mind. They have a great selection of books for all ages, so it's easy to find something kids will actually get excited about. I also loved that they offer board games, it's a nice touch and makes it more than just a place to read. It's somewhere kids can relax, play, and spend quality time together. The decoration really stands out too. It's cheerful and welcoming without feeling overwhelming, which makes the whole space feel comfortable and inviting. We'll be coming back!

They have great events throughout the year. The first event I am attending this year is called…read more Girls of the 50s.

A true gem for the residents of Carol Stream. The Carol Stream Public Library is housed in a…read moresomewhat small building off Hiawatha Drive. But it houses a LOT of books, periodicals and audio visual material. My favorite part though, are all the free programs they host every month. From Lego Club to Chess Club, gardening, magic show, etc., there is something going on every weekend for the family. The staff is very helpful and nice. There is ample parking and a very convenient book drop off box outside, especially handy during winter months. They are part of the Interlibrary network in Illnois so if a book is not available, you can have it shipped to them from another library and usually it's there within a couple of days if available. Finally, and this may only interest some, there is a very collection of large print books!

My daughter and her tutor used the Hemingway study room on 5/20 at approximately 5:45 p.m…read more Unfortunately, the experience was extremely unpleasant and concerning. The group using the room prior to them left half-eaten sushi in the trash can, causing the room to smell strongly of fish. To help with the odor, my daughter's tutor, who is also a Glen Ellyn resident, placed the trash can partially in the doorway to keep the door slightly open for ventilation. An employee described as taller with dark hair approached them and stated that it was "policy" that the trash cans had to remain inside the room with the door closed. When the tutor explained the odor issue, the employee returned with a bottle of Febreze and sprayed it directly in their direction inside the enclosed study room, then placed the sushi-filled trash can back inside the room and shut the door again while reiterating that the door had to remain closed. My daughter became physically ill after the session and vomited when she got home. Regardless of intent, spraying a scented chemical irritant into a small enclosed space without asking the occupants was inappropriate and unprofessional. More concerning is that the obvious solution -- simply removing or emptying the trash containing rotting food -- was ignored in favor of masking the smell with spray fragrance. This situation demonstrated poor judgment, lack of customer care, and an unnecessary escalation of a simple sanitation issue.

I recently visited and volunteered for their "May the 4th Be With You" event. This event was so well branded and organized, I wished more families attended. It was a light library day, but the staff and volunteers went above and beyond to deliver a fun Star Wars themed experience for children and adults alike. The services offered by this library today are vast and I even got a nice look at their Mobile library unit outside. The free computer use area seemed very busy and they also have rooms you can use for study groups and meetings.

I have gotten much needed tech help for my devices here also. Streamwood is lucky to have this resource.

Only thing I can say is that I wish they had a better African American selection and not just for black history month but all months! But whenever I did look for an African American author that i couldn't find they did get it for me.

I've come occasionally after school and noticed it is quite busy when students are out. I'm always able to get what I need from movies to music to books! I like their return service, they have self check out and self return. But I'm not sure about after hours drop off... which concerns me because some days I do not make it back in time. I did notice they are FINE FREE (within certain limitations) which helps if you are a day or two late due to scheduling. I have yet to use their computers but they seem to have an abundance for the locals. I started going because I received the Addison Reader in the mail. They have free workshops and classes. I've been to both their Tuesday Zumba and yoga classes. Both free and fun. All in all, I think they do a great job providing for the community they serve. I've rarely interacted with anyone at the library, but I've always been able to get what I'm looking for. It's nice to go and hang out during their quieter times and rummage through their rows and rows of books, magazines, movies, and more!
