We are Fine Free!
We are officially fine free!
We’ve put together some FAQs to give you all the details of what it means to be a part of a fine free library.
Language Learning at Home
In addition to the great resources we have available to Schaumburg Library cardholders like Mango and Pronunciator, we'd like to mention some of our favorite free sites for language learning.
Online Resources for Kids
We have lots of great online resources available at the Library, and we’ve also compiled a list of websites geared towards kids that will help keep your kids learning.
Listen with Your Library Card
Of course we have eBooks available, but did you know that we have eAudiobooks, too? Use your Schaumburg Library card to listen!
