COMPUTERS

The Youth Services Department houses 6 Internet computers available for children up to age 17. Any child who wishes to use a computer for the first time must bring in a parent to sign a waiver form. Only children with library cards and signed waiver forms are permitted to use the computers.

During peak use hours, children will be limited to 3 half-hour sessions. If demand is low, children are allowed to remain on the computer until someone else asks for a turn.

REFERENCE SERVICES

Does your child need help finding information for a school project or report and you don’t know where to start looking? Our Youth Services Staff is specially trained to guide you to current print and electronic sources to help you complete your research!

LIBRARY VISITS

Tours and group visits are available for scout groups, daycares, and parent groups. Please be aware that there must be at least one chaperone for every ten children brought on a visit. Call the Youth Services Department at (708) 795-8000, ext. 3006 for more information or to schedule your visit.

READERS' ADVISORY SERVICES

Youth Services Staff is happy to help you select fiction reading materials based on your favorite topics, genres, or authors.

SNEEZLE PACKS

Sneezle Packs are the perfect remedy for a child who is home from school due to illness! Based on the child’s interests, we will pack a box full of movies, books, CD’s, and other reading materials that can be checked out on an adult library card for two weeks. Sorry, no renewals. Call the Youth Services Department at (708) 795-8000, ext. 3006 for more information or to order your Sneezle Pack!

PARENT/TEACHER SHELF

The Parent/Teacher Shelf is located near the Youth Services Desk and has a variety of literature on topics such as parenting issues, child development, reading strategies, craft ideas, and activities for children.
