The library has the following items to lend (click for more information):

Bike Locks

To go along with our new bike rack, we now have bike locks available for checkout. These locks are available at the adult circulation desk and can be checked out by all library cardholders. These items are due at the end of the day.

Charging Cables

Thanks to grant funding from the Illinois State Library, the Cherry Valley Public Library offers charging cables for most popular mobile devices. These cables are available for in-library use only and can be checked out at the Adult Services circulation desk for four hours… just enough time to charge your phone or tablet. Outlets are conveniently located at tables throughout the Adult Services side of the library.

Mobile Hotspots

Thanks to partial funding from the Illinois State Library, the Cherry Valley Public Library now owns ten mobile hotspots that are available for check out. A mobile hotspot provides Internet access for a variety of devices such as a smart phone, laptop, tablet, and portable gaming device. Hotspots create their own wi-fi network and can support up to ten simultaneous devices.

The library’s hotspots rely on T-Mobile’s mobile broadband service which has good coverage in our area. For use on vacations or other trips, check the map of T-Mobile coverage. Use of a mobile hotspot will save your phone’s data in areas without free wi-fi such as in a car, at a baseball game, or at home.

Mobile hotspots are available for checkout to Cherry Valley Public Library cardholders ages 14 and up. The checkout period is one week, with the possibility of one renewal if there are no holds. Overdue fines are $1 per day. Please contact the library if you would like to place a hold for a hotspot. Patrons checking out a hotspot are required to sign a borrowing agreement.

Pickleball Equipment

Perfect to use on the pickleball court at Baumann Park, the library now offers pickleball equipment for check out to adults. We have three singles sets that include two rackets, three balls, and instructions on how to play the game. We also have one doubles set that includes four rackets, three balls, and instructions on how to play the game. These items may be checked out for one week.

Thank you to Cherry Valley Laundromat and the Cherry Valley Men’s Club for donating the items! Contact the library for more details.
