BiblioBoard

Anyone physically in the state of Illinois can use this service. There is no limit on use; items can be read by 1 or 100 people at the same time. This means no hold queues and no waiting for titles! Unique curated boards showcase a variety of topics, including independent Illinois writers.

We encourage you to create an account profile. A BiblioBoard Library profile will allow you access while outside of Illinois, to download content for offline reading, and to add bookmarks and notes.
