Curbside Pick-Up is available now at our Hanover Park and Hoffman Estates branches – just follow this simple 3-step process.
Curbside Pick-Up not offered at our Central Library because we're safely getting Library materials to you through our Drive-Up Window and Pick-Up Lockers. Please select the appropriate location when placing your holds.
Step 1: Place a hold
Visit SchaumburgLibrary.org and log in to your account to place holds on items you’d like to borrow. Or, give us a call at 847-885-3511 for the Hoffman Estates Branch or (630) 372-7800 for the Hanover Park Branch and our staff can place holds for you.
Step 2: Wait to hear from us
As soon as your items are available to pick-up, we’ll send you an email. (If you don’t have email, we’ll give you a call.) Please do not come to the Library until you receive this notification.
Step 3: Come to the Library
Come to the designated Curbside Pick-Up area. Once you arrive, call us following the directions posted on the signs to let us know you’re here. Please stay in your car and our staff will confirm your name and card number, then give you your items. If you prefer, you can pop your trunk and our staff will place your items there.
Friday – Saturday: 10 a.m. - 5 p.m.
Sunday: Closed
