Staff is happy to take your checked out materials to the Drive Up window so that you can pick them up in your car instead of carrying them out to the parking lot.

You may also request that Library materials be pulled from the shelves and held at the Drive Up window for you to pick up without leaving your car. Just call (630) 279-8696 at least an hour in advance of coming to the Library.
