The Children's Services Department serves children from birth through fifth grade. Children may use their library cards to borrow all circulating items at the Oak Park Public Library. The Library does not limit children to specific collections. It is the parents' responsibility to guide their children's borrowing.

The Children's Services Department also offers reference assistance. Librarians can find many print and non-print resources to help in selecting or finding information.

Tours and group visits are available for school classes, scout groups, daycare, and parent groups. Call the Children's Services Department at the Main Library at 708-452-3420 to make an appointment. A Children's Librarian will meet your group at any of our library locations.

The Children's Services Department Fact Sheet (PDF file) offers more information on collection materials, programs, and services.
