Our building may have closed, but the library was still open—online!
When the library had to close in March 2020 due to COVID-19, staff created New Lenox Library @ Home, an online space full of video programs, coloring and activity pages, online resources, our digital collection and more. Learn how the Library continues to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Our Online Tutorials by Niche Academy help you learn how to use library resources.
