We are saddened to relay the news of the passing of long time library senior volunteer, Edith Andrews. Edith passed away on Saturday, October 10th, 2020 at the age of 91.

For over eight years Edith volunteered for the Lincoln Park Public Library in many capacities. She was a tireless worker and took her tasks seriously…even to the point of walking the 3 mile round trip from her home, often twice a day! Edith truly loved the library and being a part of the “staff” here. We will very much miss her hard work and her spunky nature. Our thoughts are with her son Michael and the rest of her family.

The library will be hosting a celebration of her life on Sunday, October 25th at 3 pm in the library program room.

Introducing: Auto-Renewals!

Starting October 1, 2020, materials checked out on your card will automatically renew before their due date, saving you time and late fees.

Items will auto-renew if:
The item does not have holds
The item has not reached its limit of 2 renewals
Your account does not have blocks preventing renewals
It is an item that is eligible for renewals
Frequently Asked Questions
When do auto-renewals occur?
Auto-renewals will occur 3 days before an item's due date. You will still receive your full loan period, as the renewal period is added at the end of the original loan.

What if an item doesn't auto-renew?
If an item cannot be renewed, you will receive a due date reminder by your chosen notification method (email, text or phone). Please return items by the due date so that other library patrons can enjoy them and to avoid accruing late fees.

Questions? Call us at 313-381-0374.
