'Book a Librarian' service comes to Lisle Library

Cardholders at the Lisle Library District can schedule a 30-minute appointment for help covering a variety of topics and skills.

The topics include using an e-reader (or a smart device as an e-reader), accessing library resources and databases, using Microsoft Office programs, email, social media, internet search basics, and others.

Patrons can schedule up to two appointments a month with a staff librarian and either bring their own device or use library computers. Interested patrons can find more information at www.lislelibrary.org/book-librarian, or schedule an appointment by filling out an online form at www.lislelibrary.org/book-librarian-request-form.

Patrons also can visit the Connection Desk or Reference Desk on the library's main floor to schedule an appointment or ask more questions. Patrons also can call the library at (630) 971-1675 or email Gail Graziani at grazianig@lislelibrary.org.

Residents from outside Lisle who are in good standing at their home libraries also can take advantage of the service by becoming reciprocal borrowers at the Lisle Library District. Reciprocal borrowing allows users to connect their cards to multiple libraries.

For patrons who prefer to learn in a group setting, the library also offers a wide range of technology classes. In June and July, topics for classes include introductions to Google Drive, learning new languages with the Transparent Language Online database, advanced tips for Facebook, part two in a series on Microsoft Excel, and many more.
