Wheaton Public Library remains closed, but anyone living within the boundaries of Wheaton Warrenville Unit District 200 can obtain a temporary library card at wheatonlibrary.org/getcard to access eContent and online resources.

Staff members have been working from home to develop a Virtual Library that can be accessed at wheatonlibrary.org. The Virtual Library contains free online resources for remote learning, virtual tours, online performances, and library databases and eContent.

The Adult Services staff will be offering Virtual Reference through email at askref@wheatonlibrary.org and chat through the library's website. Telephone reference will begin on April 6.

Online programming for all ages also will begin April 6, many using the Zoom platform. Book discussions, film discussions, kids' library times, teen gaming, family game nights, computer tutorials and more will be offered.

The online programing schedule will be posted on the library's online calendar at wheatonlibrary.org/calendar.
