Another new year and another step forward. As Illinois moves toward lighter restrictions, it is our hope that we will soon be able to open our doors. Until then, we are happy to serve you through our porch pickup service. Items can be ordered online or by phone, and faxes, copies, and notary service can be accessed through porch pickup. Items can also be borrowed from other libraries through interlibrary loan. If you are not sure what you would like to read, we would be happy to help you make selection. Patrons with a valid library card can access eBooks and eAudiobooks on the Cloud Library app 24/7. Call 618-378-3713 or go online at ncpp.illshareit.com to order items. Things are beginning to look a little brighter. Hang in there. We hope to see you very soon! [Read more...]
