Textbook Collection
Forget a book at home and need it for an assignment? We have textbooks from local junior high and high schools. Textbooks can be used in the Library but can not be checked out.
The Young Adult textbook collection consists of the Jefferson Junior High texts, the Lakeview Junior High texts, and the St. Scholastica 7th and 8th grade texts. We have a selection of books from Downers Grove South High School. Please call to check titles.
