Hoopla Borrowing Limit Changing

Hoopla Service Update

If you’ve recently seen the message, “The collective daily borrow limit set by your library has been reached and will reset at midnight” while using Hoopla, you’re not alone.

Hoopla has become increasingly popular with Lake Bluff Public Library users—and we love that so many of you are exploring eBooks, audiobooks, movies, and more! However, this growing demand has outpaced our current digital media budget.

Weeding 101

05/28/2025

By Julie Jurgens, Lake Bluff Public Library, Youth Services Librarian

Even though I grew up on a farm, I have a black thumb when it comes to plants (I’m still sad about my lack of cherry tomatoes the past two summers despite my best efforts), but thankfully when it comes to weeding books, I have much stronger skills.

Some of you might be saying, Weeding books? What does that mean? Well, that’s why I am writing to you today. 

Library Transitions to New Book Vendor

04/04/2025

The Lake Bluff Public Library is in the process of transitioning to a new book vendor to improve the availability of new materials for our patrons. Over the past six months, we have experienced longer-than-usual delays in receiving new books, and we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

We appreciate the patience and understanding of our community as we make this change. The new vendor will help streamline our ordering process, ensuring that new materials arrive more quickly and reliably in the future.
