Her convo was NOT a business or daycare kind of call- strictly social...WHY?? She had her kids w/her not even bothering to ask them to stop running around talking. Send them to the KID's Library upstairs- what's it's FOR!! You can understand ONE phonecall outloud answer- 15mins of it- NO. Get a clue. Staff KNEW she was disruptive and did nothing about it. I am too nice of a person to 'correct' a stranger and omg forget it if they're a POC. Why would the last nice place- a LIBRARY be allowed to be trashed?? STAFF: DO YOUR JOB. Our taxes are paying your salary.

I love that they have so many items you can check out that aren't limited to books. My absolute favourite part is the Innovation hub. Such a great space to be creative.

They have sooo many different systems available for your use!

The Schaumburg Library will always have a special place in my heart. I grew up coming here, both…read morethe old location and the current "new" one, and it has always been a safe, welcoming space for me. It's where I learned to get lost in the wonder of books and the joy of learning. The current library is beautifully designed and thoughtfully organized, with what feels like every book imaginable at your fingertips. Beyond the space itself, the people who work here are truly exceptional - some of the kindest, most caring individuals you could hope to meet. Now that I live in NYC, I love bringing my kids here whenever we visit. It's always my very first stop after landing at the airport. This library isn't just a building--it's a community treasure.

(so while i was totally awe-inspired and impressed overall, of course i have to nitpick. that's what happens when you're "in the industry." meet me in the next paragraph if you're not interested in this little rant.) i did not like the youth desk; i felt like the staff were hiding behind this weird green panel. kids would have to go to either side to see them. and when standing in front of the desk, all you see is the green panel, oddly positioned, and noticeably NOT covering the many, many wires protruding under the desk from the computers. i really do not understand this design. some things i loved about this library: --the storytime room looks like the bottom of a rocket from the outside. totally cute. (nitpick: is there a way to get in without taking the stairs?) --they have a sort of enclosed outdoor space right near the storytime room. jealous! --wide, open spaces, likely with lots of little nooks and crannies to get yourself cozy in. --wonderful, helpful, knowledgeable, talented staff.

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.

"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.

Cool programs here and there, good CD section, and just a small homely vibe in this library. Fun…read moretimes

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.
