Stop in and check out what’s happening at YOUR library and have a chance to WIN prizes!
Get a library card!
In February, if you get a new library card or renew an expired card, you will receive a free NSLD DVD rental. Library cards are free if you live in the district. Children ages 5-17 can get a library card with a parent/guardian. Library cards are issued for a three year period. With your library card, you have access to best sellers, a free digital collection, fun and educational programs for all ages, DVDs, music CDs, and much more. NSLD will be offering ½ off NSLD fines and DVD rentals the week of February 3-9, 2019.
Love eBooks?
If you enjoy reading with your mobile device, NSLD has you covered! Try an eBook, eAudiobook or eMagazine from NSLD’s extensive collection. All patrons receive this great digital service with their library card for free! Want to get started? Go to the NSLD website at www.northsuburbanlibrary.org under “eCollections” for simple instructions. If you need help learning how to use this service, NSLD offers one-on-one training at each library location. NSLD/Loves Park’s training is Monday–Friday from 10 am-noon. NSLD/Roscoe’s training is on Wednesday and Thursday nights from 6–7:30 pm.
Looking to try something new?
Attend a fun and free event at your library! NSLD offers free programs for all ages.

Teens will also have DIY and art workshops coming in March. Children can look forward to LEGO Days, Crafty Reader, Tween Catapult Challenge, Story Hours and Reading Buddies – just to mention a few.
