Library Updates: New Drive-Up Service 4/12/2021
Library building is currently closed for construction but we are happy to assist you through our new Drive up window which has been installed next to the Library's book drop. To pick up your holds, drive to the window and call us at 847-259-3500. Wait for staff to open the drawer and place your library card inside. Please continue to schedule appointments for your hold pick-ups until further notice.

Soon we will have an intercom system which will make using the drive-up service drawer even better! Thank you for your patience during our renovation. For additional information on how to schedule your Drive-Up Pickup, visit our Library Updates page.

Library Renovation: Photos and Videos Updated 04/08/2021
The Library renovation has officially started! While we are closed to the public we will document our renovation on our Renovation Update page, keeping you updated with current information, photos, and more. Be sure to see the latest photos on our Flickr page, and the Library Renovation Time-Lapse video. Check out our current architect's rendering for a more detailed look at the renovation.

@Your Library

Your Library Online:
Even if you cannot make it to the Library physically, you can still check out eBooks, audio-books, movies, TV shows, music, and magazines digitally with our various online resources, all for free with your Prospect Heights Public Library card. Learn more about our resources and how to use them here. Also be sure to check out our online databases, which include resources on genealogy, health, newspaper archives, school help, and more, plus subscribe to our enewsletter for the latest news and information.

Printing at the Library From Home:
No printer at home? You can now upload print jobs from your home computer and submit them to the Prospect Heights Public Library's printer. There are two methods detailed through our instructional videos, either through our website or through the PrinterOn App. Once completed, you can pick them up via curbside pickup.

Register for a Library Card Online to Access Our Databases and Online Book Options:
Online library card registration for residents of the Prospect Heights Library District is available under the My Account tab on the left-hand side of the page of our website or by clicking here. We will be processing registrations while we are closed and once a patron gets a library card number they will have access to all of our online resources.

Passport Services:
While the Library is closed, we will still be offering passport application services offsite starting in November. Visit our Passport Services page for times, locations, and additional information.
