Limited parking is available in the municipal lot directly across Des Plaines Avenue from the Library’s front entrance. Spaces with a blue topped meter need to be fed on the same schedule as other metered spaces in the lot.

The Library also has two disabled parking spaces. One is against the south side of the building. It is accessible by entering the alley off Jackson Boulevard immediately to the east of the intersection of Jackson Boulevard and Des Plaines Avenue. The second is in front of the Library on Des Plaines Avenue and designated by a blue curb.

The curb cutout on the south side of the building is limited to 15 minute parking, and is intended for quick “in and out” business in the Library.
