Eric Davis, STM Lincolnwood Public Library “…a gateway to knowledge, discovery, and self-fulfillment.”
The Lincolnwood Public Library seeks: to create and sustain a sense of place for Lincolnwood residents; to bring the community together by celebrating its diversity; and to offer individuals a gateway to knowledge, discovery, and self- fulfillment.
“Lincolnwood Library
Mission Statement.” This year, (2011), the Lincolnwood Public Library celebrates 33 years of service to the community. A recent parking lot expansion project has significantly increased the parking lot and we hope our patrons will find the increased access convenient. A newly designed donor wall recognizes the many contributions from the conception of the library to today.
We encourage you to make full use of your library’s resources. The adult and children’s collections of approximately 55,000 materials, including fiction, nonfiction, and large print books, magazines, DVDs, audio books, music CDs, gaming materials, puzzles, and kits reflect the diversity and varied interests of our community. Cooperative arrangements and resource sharing with other libraries offer residents access to the larger world of materials that are available beyond the library’s walls.
Library Cards Lincolnwood residents may obtain a Library Card by visiting the library. A current picture ID and one other form of identification are needed to verify name and address. There is no minimum age for obtaining a library card, but signature of a parent or guardian is required for all applicants under the 18 years old.

Online Catalog The Lincolnwood Library’s online catalog, Bibliocommons provides access to the holdings of 23 other area libraries, is available both in the library and from home through our website,
www.lincolnwoodlibrary.org. Bibliocommons is a web-based catalog that allows Lincolnwood patrons to locate books and materials, place holds, renew items, and share thoughts and comments about literature from any computer with access to the internet.
Computers We provide access to public computers, the internet, and other electronic resources in order to further the library’s goal of offering community members an expansive and welcoming gateway to knowledge, discovery, and self-fulfillment. Currently, there are over 30 public computer stations in the library. Most of these are located in three areas: a computer room for adults and high school students; the Teen Scene area for younger teens; and the youth area for children and for adult computer users who need to be near their children while at the library.
The youth area provides resources that offer parents and caregivers the opportunity to use computers and age-appropriate electronic learning games to advance the skills and intellectual capacities of their younger children.
To provide equitable access to as many users as possible, limits are placed on the maximum amount of time that individuals may use library computers each day. Lincolnwood residents receive more computer time than non- residents.
