Homework Help
Study Rooms
Enclosed study rooms are available in Adult Services and Youth Services. These rooms are first-come first-served for High School students, adults, or younger children who are accompanied by an adult. Groups have priority over individuals wishing to use the study rooms. Check in at the Reference desk.
Computers
Computers for word processing and filtered Internet are available in Youth Services and Adult Services. Unfiltered Internet is available to Glen Ellyn Public Library patrons who are 10 years old or younger only when accompanied by an adult. Patrons age 11-17 must have a parent's signed permission.
Photocopiers
Black-and-white copiers are located in the main lobby and in Adult Services. Copies are 10 cents each.
Textbooks
Youth Services has a collection of District 41 & District 89's textbooks for use in the library.
Online
Our web site at www.gepl.org has links to:
- "Recommended Web Sites" for online "Homework Helpers", online encyclopedias, and District schools' websites.
- "Search Area Libraries" for holdings at other area libraries, including College of DuPage, Wheaton, and Lombard's Helen Plum. You may check out materials at any area Public Library with your valid Glen Ellyn Library card, and residents of DuPage County may borrow from the College of DuPage.
- "Search Other Resources" for several of the library's reference databases. You must enter your Glen Ellyn Library card number to use these from home, but a library card in not required to use these inside the library.
Library Staff
We are here to help. Ask us for help with any question whenever the Library is open! Staff will show patrons how to use any of our databases, as well as our computer catalog, at any time during regular Library hours. Scheduled Internet training sessions are offered through Adult Services. We can reserve library materials, or request it from other libraries, if you don't find what you need here.
