Arcola Public Library District

Due to a system-wide issue, the library's online catalog is not available. If you need assistance finding/requesting materials, please contact the library at 217-268-4477. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Maybe you didn't even know there was an online catalog! This website (also an app for your phone) allows you to see every single item available for check out from the comfort of your own home.

And by every single item we don't just mean our 19,000 items. You also have access to the collections of all 300+ participating libraries. Pretty cool discovery for an average Wednesday, isn't it???

There is still time to pick up a passport and participate in the Library Crawl. It is a great opportunity to see some other local libraries such as the Arthur Public Library District and the Atwood-Hammond Public Library District. Happy Crawling!

(Our friends as the Camargo, Newman, and Lovington libraries are very cool too. Might as well stop by while you are out!)
