ECC Library FAQs

What are the library privileges for Community Borrowers?

Once you have activated your Community Borrower status (see this FAQ on how to get a library card):

You can check out:

• Books
• Movies (DVDs)
• Audio books
• Music CDs
• Magazines
• Interlibrary Loan service, which would cover borrowing materials our library doesn’t physically own.

When you are in the library, you can obtain a 2 hour pass to use the library computers. On the library computers, you can access any of our online databases or electronic resources including eBooks within the library.

​Library cards are valid during the fiscal year, from 6/30-the following year on 6/30. When your card expires, you can renew the same card at the Circulation Desk.

If you have any questions, please contact the Circulation Desk at 847-214-7337.

ECC students and employees are welcome to use their student ID or employee ID as a library card only at other participating I-Share libraries.  Community borrowers may use their ECC Library card at ECC, but these cards are only valid at the ECC Library.
