Grow Your Business

Librarians can guide you to answers and refer you to local resources. Not only is the library a great place to work, you can also access free legal forms, checkout equipment like an LCD projector, and use a copy machine or scanner.

Entrepreneurs may check out equipment, provided by the Illinois State Library, funded by a grant from the Small Business Administration.

• LCD projector

The projector may be checked out for one week, and up to four times per calendar year.  A Gail Borden Library card is required for checkout.  Contact the information Desk at 847-429-4680 to reserve equipment in advance or to answer your business questions.
