We are excited to announce we are back to our regular hours of operation. We are open Monday, Tuesday, Thursday & Friday 10:00-3:00, the first Saturday of each month 10:00-3:00, and other times by appointment by calling 815-879-3133 or 815-875-8491.

Come make a virtual visit to our library and see the extensive resources we have to offer. We may be able to fill in those blank spaces in your family tree, especially if you have Bureau County roots. Our friendly volunteers will be happy to assist you and get you started. If you cannot physically come to our library, please contact us by email (bureaucounty@gmail.com). For a fee, we will gladly do the research for you and answer your questions. Do you have Bureau County ancestors? Our vast collection will help you learn about them.
