Libraries are a wonderful FREE resource available to families. They are so much more than books. They offer spaces for children to play, storytimes, and crafts. Libraries host special events for homeschoolers, which you can find in our homeschooling directory. Libraries have access to community resources like job boards, community groups, and financial support.

Below are links to McHenry County’s libraries. Check out their individual calendars to find specific dates and times of their events. Taking our children to the library will foster the love of reading and learning at an early age.

Also, have you heard of the Libby app? If you are looking for eBooks and audiobooks this is a great resource.
