Adults are welcome to use our resource room which contains an Ellison Die machine, sewing machines, laminator, and paper cutter. Fees are required to use some equipment; see a staff member in the Youth Center or call 847-429-4685 for more information. Please provide your own paper and supplies.

SEWING MACHINES
In order to use a sewing machine, you will need to purchase a bobbin for 25¢, provide your own thread (all-purpose is best), and use in the library.  Sewing machines cannot be taken home.

ELLISON DIES
Some Ellison Dies travel to other libraries, please call ahead to check the availability of the die you require. Below is a list of the library's Ellison Dies.
