Tried Google and couldn't find the answer? Work with our trained staff of expert searchers.  They'll take you to places on the web that can't be reached by Google or any other search engine – and they'll give you an answer that you'll understand.  They're available 73 hours a week and make the answer finding process easy. Or text them a question and they'll send back the answer wherever you're located.

Worried about the new medications your doctor ordered? Looking for something new to read? Want to learn more about the best new refrigerator to buy?  All of these questions have answers in the Library's premium databases.  We spend the money on these subscriptions so you don't have to.

Today's public libraries offer much more than just storytimes for children and murder mysteries.  We are 24/7 places with websites that provide accurate answers, suggestions for great reads and exciting programs.  Check us out on our website, or at our three buildings, Nichols Library, 200 W. Jefferson Ave.; Naper Boulevard Library, 2035 S. Naper Blvd.; and 95th Street Library, 3015 Cedar Glade Dr.
