The Library building is open and operates on a limited stay model that allows 60 minute visits. Patrons have direct access to the collection and some seating areas are open. Masks are required for the duration of your stay and must cover both mouth and nose. Social distancing protocols and capacity limits are also in place.
Reserve your 2nd Floor Study Room. Accommodates 2-3 people.
Note: Kids’ Library Study Rooms are unavailable at this time.
Schedule an appointment. Call (630) 279-8696 and ask for the Makery or email makery@elmlib.org to set up a time to visit. Drop-ins to the Makery are not possible at this time due to capacity limits.
As an alternative, consider bringing the Makery home with you with our new Makery-inspired Library of Extraordinary Things collection!
Arrange a studio visit. Call, text, email, or chat us to prearrange studio time.
