Have an E-Reader? Let us know!

The library is going to consider subscribing to a book service that would allow our patrons to "borrow" e-books and audiobooks off of the internet. This service would work with all major e-readers and mobile audio devices and even computers. It includes fiction aned nonfiction selections.

We want to know how many people own e-readers and would be interested in this service. let us know what kind of device you have by calling the library at 708-946-9090 or emailing director@beecherlibrary.com. Patron interest is an important factor in this decision! Visit www.mediaondemand.org for more information.

DVD/CD Drop Box!

For your convenience, the Library now has an outdoor DVD/CD Drop Box for DVDs, audio books, and music CDs. A $2.00 fine will be charged for any books put in the DVD/CD Drop Box, and the patron will be responsible for any resulting damaged media. A $2.00 fee will also be charged for any media put in the book drop. It is important that materials go in the right box, so expensive, fragile media doesn't get crushed by heavy books!

E-Resources now available!

The Beecher Community Library now subscribes to online databases our patrons can access from their home on their computers. Articles in hundreds of magazines, professional and peer-reviewed journals, or newspapers are available through these databases to aid you in your research. Topics include business, health, gardening, the environment, literature, home improvement, and so much more! Kids can even look up information for school projects on kid-friendly websites like "Worldbook Discover," "Student Resource Center Gold," or "Kids InfoBits." Click here to access these databases.

Book Donations

The library accepts book donations for either our collection or our annual book sale. The library does not accept Reader's Digest condensed books, encyclopedias, or magazines, including National Geographic. Please do not put donations in the book drop.
