Read with Libby
Michele Hedlund of Schaumburg has been coming to Schaumburg Library for many years. She loves reading and particularly likes fantasy and romance books. Michele listens to audiobooks while working around the house and reads a bit just before bed, too.
So what’s so special about Michele and her reading habits, you ask? She does her reading with Libby – the eBook and eAudiobook app.
Brainfuse
We recently caught up with Schaumburg High School sophomore Alandee to talk about how she likes to use Brainfuse, a free online tool for homework help, test prep and more.
