Checking Out Materials

Materials are checked out at the Patron Services Desk. VAPLD also offers the privacy and convenience of self-checkout stations located in the lobby. Patrons with $5 or more in overdue fines or fees may not checkout.

Returning Materials

The library has drop boxes available 24 hours a day for all library materials. 

For your convenience, there is a drop box in Buffalo Grove at the northeast corner of the Grove Shopping Center (Lake-Cook and McHenry Roads). 

There is also a drive-up drop box in the circle drive at the library and two walk-up drop boxes at the building entrance.  Library materials may also be returned inside the library to the Patron Services Desk for immediate check-in.

Drop boxes are checked in everyday by staff.  Please allow 24 hours for your materials to be checked in from your account.  You may also return your library materials to other public libraries in Illinois.  The North Suburban Library System van service will deliver the materials to us within several days.
