Catalog Search and Account Access will be Limited From August 29 Through September 2

Our Catalog is Growing Larger

From Friday, August 29, through Tuesday, September 2, account access, search, and some online services will be limited due to catalog system maintenance to add the Vernon Area Public Library to our library network. During this time, you will still be able to sign up for a library card and check out materials, including your holds, at the library. 

Starting Wednesday, September 3, you will be able to access more than 180,000+ items from the Vernon Area Public Library.

During this time 

  • You can still return materials, but no materials will be checked-in or due, and no fines will be issued.
  • The online catalog may be out of date. Please call ahead to confirm that an item is on the shelf.
  • You will still be able to log into your online library account, but you will not be able to use it to place holds, pay fines, or modify your account information.
  • To place a hold, please visit the Reference, Fiction & Media, or Youth Services desk or call 847-272-6224.
  • Although you will still be able to access most of our online resources, you may not be able to access Kanopy, Hoopla, and Explore More Illinois. 

Starting Wednesday, September 3

  • Full functionality is expected to be restored.
  • In addition to the current 31 area libraries in our network (CCS), you will now be able to use your library card at the Vernon Area Public Library to check out materials.
