As part of a National Library Card Sign-Up Campaign, the Ela Area Public Library will giveaway ChicoBags, reusable nylon messenger-style bags that fit in your pocket or purse, to new cardholders during the month of September.

Back by popular demand, our children’s promotion is a limited edition Halloween-themed ChicoBag.Already have a card? Then checkout 10 or more items on any Friday in September to receive a coupon for a free Culver’s custard sundae courtesy of Culver’s of Lake Zurich or Mundelein (while supplies last).

If you’re new to the area, or if you’ve just never thought of it before, now is the perfect time to turn over a new leaf and get a library card. Staff at the Circulation Desk will help you verify that you live in this district, or will refer you to the appropriate neighboring library district. To obtain a card, you need to show two forms of identification with your current address. A signature from a parent or guardian is required for children under 18.Please call the Circulation Desk at (847) 438-3433 for more information or visit www.eapl.org.
