The Schaumburg Library will always have a special place in my heart. I grew up coming here, both…read morethe old location and the current "new" one, and it has always been a safe, welcoming space for me. It's where I learned to get lost in the wonder of books and the joy of learning. The current library is beautifully designed and thoughtfully organized, with what feels like every book imaginable at your fingertips. Beyond the space itself, the people who work here are truly exceptional - some of the kindest, most caring individuals you could hope to meet. Now that I live in NYC, I love bringing my kids here whenever we visit. It's always my very first stop after landing at the airport. This library isn't just a building--it's a community treasure.

I really need to upgrade to something that doesnt cost as much as the printer for ink cartridges... JFC... scammers. Anywhoo this library is amazing!!! I thought Schaumburg was the tits... but holy moly this one makes me think Palatine (the town or is it the Township of all Palatine Districts) is very well funded! This place is gorgeous down to the structure and even the bathrooms... fully accessible and top tier with those weird new sinks with water and dryers in one nozzle. Great setup for PCs and printers and study rooms... they even have notary services... only bad thing is I had to go back to Chase because they dont do real estate documents. Helpful and friendly staff and such a lovely ambiance with underground parking available! Love this library...

Serious question: Does this library have books? My wife and I have been patrons of this library for…read moreover a decade and more times than not they don't have a particular book I or my kids are looking for. I don't mean to be snarky but I'm not exaggerating. Just today I searched for copies of "Zone of Interest" and "Night" with no success. It's become a running joke in my house, which is sad as I'm a big fan of the local library.

Mount Prospect PL continues to knock it out of the park with their programming…read more They have some signature programs, I'd call them, that take place throughout the year apparently, in cooperation with the MPPL Foundation. The first of these that we attended was the Teddy Bear Walk. Apparently this is a program that has been happening for something like 60 years and it's become a family tradition--grandparents are now coming with their children and grandchildren to the event. We were running late this day so we missed the "walk" part of the program--not sure what that entails. But the children are encouraged to bring a teddy bear and there are some great activities: times tickets to visit Santa; craft stations in the children's section; rotating story times; costumes characters outside, in this case a bear and the MPPL mascot, a duck; and a children's music drop-in session. I was so pleased with the event b it I didn't realize it was just one of many. Most recently we went to the Lunar New Year celebration they host. Again, many fun activities, with the craft tables again (making a sparkle dragon and a Lunar New Year sign), a dragon set-up in one of the program rooms for photos, a scavenger hunt, and the pièce de résistance: the lion dancers. This was a timed entry ticket, and we were amongst the first people to arrive at the library for the LNY celebration (score one for putting the start time for this in my calendar 15 minutes earlier than it actually began) so we were able to get in. Whilst waiting for the performance to begin, they gave us little tissue paper rings and said to wait until we were told to use them. To prepare the crowd--particularly the large number of small children--the librarian led us in a a song or two, including a fun call-and-response, and explained a bit about the pillars of Lunar New Year. And at the end, just before the dancers began, she told us to rip open our tissue paper rings to let out the "fireworks" inside. I feel like I must be a child myself because I was gleeful at that myself, though the room did erupt in oooh's and aahhh's so I wasn't alone there. (And you can guarantee I'm going to find and order some of those paper confetti pouches.) The company they hired to do this performance was phenomenal. I have never seen the lion dance in person and I was enchanted. My daughter was fascinated too, and I was actually worried she might be frightened. The performers did most of their dance up near the front but did wander through the audience for a bit, during which a lion stopped in front of my daughter, who promptly plucked an orange from its open mouth. I later learned that means good fortune in the year ahead. I left this event in such high spirits, having had so much fun, I couldn't stop talking about it to friends and took tons of photos. Their events just keep getting better. Never change, Mount Prospect Public Library!

I was in the area and needed access to Microsoft office suite and a printer- so incredibly thankful for our public libraries and free resources! At first I was told I could access the computer using my park ridge library card and PIN but I couldn't recall my PIN for the life of me. They provided me with a guest pass that allowed me to use the computer for 1h45m. That's 45 more min than PR guest which is a plus. Color copies cost .25 and B&W .10. I got what I needed and was in and out in less than an hour. Only one less star because as others have stated, it's a really loud library. Babies crying, people whispering, slamming keyboards lol, etc. But it seems the staff works hard to manage it between their work and borderline ridiculous calls- they do it all! Again, very grateful and only first world problem complaints.

There are a few reasons why we don't go to this library anymore…read more First and foremost, we're not as proud of the people they're proudest of in Hoffman Estates. If you're not proud of or for them, we've noticed that kids have been ostracized to the point of crying. This affects them in school, and they "get into trouble". Or worse, people tell others "trouble follows them around".

I had to drive around the entire building to find the entrance that I was supposed to enter through. Once inside I found the hallways to be very cramped.

There were some sound problems with a presentation but the sound engineer was there to fix the issue. There were some nice lounge areas to rest and recharge between sessions on a long day. I cannot recommend Roosevelt University to as a facility to attend conferences at.
