Meeting Rooms

The Library has several meeting rooms at the main library that may be reserved by members of the public free of charge. Please read our meeting room policy to find out about the criteria for room use and reservation information. Eligible members of the public may request the meeting rooms up to 60 days in advance. To reserve a meeting room, fill out a meeting room request form or call the Reference desk at 847-623-2041 ext. 238.

Please let us know when you make your reservation if you will provide food at your event. The library is unable to supply napkins, plates, and silverware for you. We kindly request that guests dispose of plates, etc. in the receptacles provided in the room.

Meeting room capacities vary based on your needs and desired setup arrangement. You may choose a setup option if you are making your reservation with 10 days’ notice.  Below, you’ll find examples of our standard room setups.
