Summer Newsletter

Submitted by Chris on

The summer edition of our Eisenhower Explorer should be arriving in Norridge and Harwood Heights mailboxes this week. If you haven't yet received yours, or if you live outside of our district, you can browse the newsletter online or drop by and pick one up in the library. We have plenty to go around. We also have plenty of great things to do this summer at Eisenhower, including our Summer Reading Program, a meditation class, a performance by teen Elvis impersonator Hugo Colin, A lock-in for kids, and our annual Mini Comic Con. It's going to be a great summer.

Good News for eBook Readers

Submitted by Chris on

Over the last three years, the number of eBooks checked out by Eisenhower Library users has more than doubled. If you love reading books on your eReader or mobile device, we have great news. With Media on Demand, our eBook lending service, you can now borrow as many as ten books each month.

To get started, visit mediaondemand.org. If you live in Norridge or Harwood Heights, choose Eisenhower as your library. Then, enter your library card number and PIN. Unless you changed it, your PIN is probably the last four digits of your phone number. The Chicago Public Library offers a similar eBook service for those living in Chicago. Visit chipublib.overdrive.com to try it out.

If you need help with eBooks at Eisenhower we're always happy to assist. Give us a call at 708-867-2299 or drop by the Answers Desk.
