Palatine library to close temporarily due to COVID-19

The Palatine Public Library District will close its three library buildings Thursday through Dec. 6 due to the surge in COVID-19 cases in suburban Cook County, officials said.

Curbside pickup will be available by appointment during that time and drop boxes will remain open at all locations.

This week, people are encouraged to use curbside pickup and keep their in-person visits short.
