As Illinois looks forward to a slow reopening, a Clinton entity is also slowly expanding their offerings as allowed by the government.

Business Manager at Clinton's Warner Library, Samantha Rusk explains they are excited to announce curbside pick up as an option. She says their website vwarner.org website will have a link for their online program.

The library is also offering a program similar to a subscription box where patrons can request a genre of books and receive several pieces of literature in that genre. Rusk says you can still request specific books or items but they ask you only ask for a certain amount at a time.

According to Rusk, the program is going to available on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays. Community members are asked to make requests in advance and they will then receive a phone call from the library to schedule a time to come to the library.

With summer approaching and kids having been removed from their learning environments for almost two months, Rusk says it is as important as ever for kids to read this summer. She says the curbside pick up can be catered to fit a child's interests as well.

Again, visit vwarner.org, and just below their masthead will be a link to their online ordering. You can also call the library at 217-935-5174.
