DEAD BATTERY ALERT!!!
If you have old, dead batteries, do not simply throw them out in your garbage cans.
The Lyons Public Library has a brand new recycling program designed to help eliminate regular household batteries from contaminating our delicate environment.
Bring your dead batteries to the Lyons Public Library, and we will dispose of them in
a proper and safe manner.


LAPTOP COMPUTER NOW AVAILABLE FOR CHECK-OUT
That’s right – the Lyons Public Library now has a laptop computer available for patrons to check-out and use within the library. Patrons wishing to use the laptop computer within the library must be at least 18 years of age, and have a valid library card and driver’s license (or state ID). Just go to the circulation desk and ask a staff member if you can check out the laptop computer. It is just that easy!


New Library Cards
New library cards will soon be in place at the Lyons Public Library. The new design has the library’s new logo on the front, along with library contact information. The hours of the library will be printed on the backs of the cards. The new cards will also have the bar codes imbedded into the cards, rather than on stickers. The new cards will only be for new card holders and to replace lost cards. The new cards will not replace cards for those who already have cards in good standing.


More Tid-bits —
Starting December 1, 2012, non-residents may check out any DVD that they want;
 however, the cost will be one dollar for old DVDS and two Dollars for new DVDs.

 The Lyons Public Library will no longer charge for the service of letting
a patron make a quick telephone call.

 Juveniles may now check out television shows with a maximum of one DVD per juvenile.

 Patrons may read Chicago Sun-Times articles as far back as 1986 through
an online database called NewsBank.


Don't forget...
...to checkout our online databases like Newsbank. This database includes the Chicago Sun-Times and a selection of popular magazines.  Just login using your 14 digit Lyons Library card number.
