What's New

New 3-Week Loan Period

The Orland Park Public is happy to announce that library has increased the check-out period for most circulation items from two weeks to three weeks. Most items will checkout for three weeks with one renewal for an additional three weeks. Overdue fines remain at 10¢ a day unless otherwise specified. The new three week loan period excludes video games, Lucky Day items and Brookfield Zoo passes.

Find More with Encore!

The Orland Park Public Library has been chosen by the Metropolitan Library System to test a new version of the SWAN online catalog system called Encore. Please stop by Adult or Youth Services to try out this new user-friendly service. Encore will be the face of the new catalog in the future, so get a head start on learning how to find more with Encore!

Video Games Now Available

The library is now offering video games for check-out in the Youth, Teen and Adult Services Departments. We have games for Playstation 2 and 3, Xbox 360 and Nintendo Wii. Video games can be checked out for two weeks. This is a great opportunity to try a game for yourself, preview one of your children's favorites or just have some fun over a quiet weekend. Our collection is starting small, so if there is a game you would really like, be sure to put it on hold. If you notice we are missing a game you would like to see in the library, please let us know.
