Algonquin Area Public Library District

Due to the anticipated blizzard, both library locations will open at 12 noon on Monday, March 16. Look for updates at aapld.org and on our social media channels if conditions change.

Both library locations will open at 1 pm on Friday, January 30, due to a staff in service, as our team participates in training to better serve the community.

Thanks to the incredible efforts of our team, Restoration 1, Acitelli, and our insurance company, we're ready to reopen. Take care when you visit, as some areas remain blocked off. Thank you to all who visited the Eastgate during our closure. Welcome back. Can't wait to see you!

Hours remain the same, 3 to 7 pm. Please note that since the event begins at 3:00 pm, there may be some delays accessing the parking lot due to student dismissal. Appointments remain full, but walk-ins are still welcome. Thank you for your flexibility and for helping save lives!

Our Blood Drive has been moved to Harry D. Jacobs High School at 2601 Bunker Hill Drive, Algonquin, IL 60102. The event will be held in the commons area. Please enter through the main entrance, Door 1, and check in with security upon arrival for setup.

Due to a broken pipe, the Harnish Main Library is closed today, January 15. Eastgate is open and online resources remain available. We will continue to share updates as information becomes available, and we look forward to reopening to serve you as soon as possible.
