EXPLORE MORE IL
We are excited to announce our participation in the Explore More Illinois program as of May 1, 2021. Explore More Illinois is a cultural pass program that provides discounts and other offerings from museums, historical societies, performing and visual arts centers, and other attractions from across the state of Illinois. The program is free for adults 18 years and older who have a valid CTPL library card. Offerings differ by attraction and include free or reduced admission, parking, discounts, and more.
Explore More Illinois is available 24/7 from any computer, tablet, or smartphone. Click this link and log in using a valid library card number and password to review and reserve a pass.
SUMMER READING
This year's summer reading program "Reading Colors Your World" will be open for registration for Clinton Township Public Library patrons of all ages starting June 2nd, 2021. As you know, our indoor space is limited, so on the 2nd (weather permitting) we will have our registration table set up outside the library.
Even though we are outside, we do ask you to still wear a mask when interacting with our staff and other patrons for library events.
Once you've signed up, the library will be open 12pm - 8pm for you to check out your books and start reading!
For more details, make sure to subscribe to our e-newsletter (at the bottom of the page) or pick one up after May 15th, 2021 in the library.
COVID-19 UPDATE
The library is currently open during our summer operating hours. Curbside pickup is also available upon request.
While the state of Illinois moves into Phase 5 on June 11th, CTPL will continue requiring that all patrons wear a mask covering your mouth and nose in order to enter the building through the duration of our Summer Reading Program, June 1st through July 31st, 2021.
Because our largest audience during the summer is our youth, we want to give parents and families the peace of mind that the library is a safe place to read and imagine all summer long.
We appreciate the continued patience of all of our patrons!
