Oak Lawn Library Temporarily Closes Due To Coronavirus -- Again

OAK LAWN, IL — Here we go again. In compliance with Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s Tier 3 restrictions, the Oak Lawn Public Library building will be closed to the public beginning Nov. 23 amid surging COVID-19 cases. The building will remain closed until further notice.

The library will continue to offer curbside pickup service, virtual programming and other services. Curbside pickup will be available 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Thursday; and 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday. There will be no curbside pickup Sunday.

Access curbside service at the Cook Avenue library entrance. Pickup parking spaces will be marked. When arriving to pick up reserved items, call 708- 422-4990, or text the library’s new curbside communicator at 708-931-9030 to coordinate pickup upon arrival.

Patrons age 13 and older can also register for a library eCard, which gives patrons access to digital resources, including ebooks, e-audiobooks, online databases, and more. Cards are valid for at least 90 days. When the library reopens these cards can be upgraded to have full access to all library materials by providing proof of residency to the customer services department.
